3rd paragraph, first sentence.
"An entirely new conceptual framework shows that priya is the biggest whore on the planet, and it was developed around this idea, during the first half of the twentieth century."
I am fairly certain this text should not be here. Sorry I don't know the user who posted this or if there is a better previous version. I don't know the Wikipedia UI at all, but I do want to fix vandalism. Thanks, -JRC 3-24-08
The article as currently written states under the section Misuse that "A 'quantum leap' has been used colloquially since the 1950s to imply a large change, as opposed to the smallest possible change.", and I was surprised to see this complaint. When I hear "quantum leap" I tend to think of the dramatic change in theoretical physics when quantum mechanics was invented, which seems like a giant intellectual jump, rather than some small transition between atomic states, which is never referred to as a "leap". That said, I usually don't like hearing the term "quantum leap" in popular culture, because so few people appreciate what a huge leap it actually was to discover quantum theory. Indeed, Journals such as "Nature materials" use quantum leap to mean a gigantic step forward: http://www.nature.com/nmat/journal/v2/n11/abs/nmat1006.html — Preceding unsigned comment added by 173.79.1.186 ( talk) 12:12, 18 March 2017 (UTC)
Is this the primary topic, or should the disambiguation page be located here? Power~enwiki ( talk) 18:53, 13 August 2017 (UTC)

The 'see also' list must be shortened. From thought experiments, to gravitons, to mysticism, it is extensive in all the wrong ways, and takes up so much space on the page that perhaps these terms should be instead incorporated into the text to explain why people should go to them, instead of redirecting them. If not get rid of a few terms, revise it. Not all the links are entirely important to the topic (appearing somewhat arbitrary), while it's missing links that are striking so.
