The Rayleigh-Jeans law for black-body electromagnetic radiation fit experimental observation

Max Planck showed it was possible to fit the data by assuming radiation

could only be emitted in a minimal increment. His contibution to science
was not the constant that fitted the data, it was getting his contemporaries
to devote their life to understanding why that worked. The result was
the development of quantum mechanics.

There is something drastingly wrong with the Black-Scholes/Merton
theory: their mathmatical fiction of perfectly liquid continous time
trading. Every trader knows only a finite number of trades can be executed
at the minimal increment of the instrument involved.
