Photoelectric Effect
Einstein proved light comes in packets—and now your attention does too, measured in discrete quanta by platforms that know exactly how much energy it takes to make you click.

Every emission has a cost, every observation changes what's observed, and in the attention economy, you are the black body radiating data.
In quantum mechanics, observation collapses the wave function. In the digital realm, prediction creates the reality it claims to measure.
