>>they can’t move around, so they freeze.

No.

But in the context of a belief that Quantum Mechanics [of things like phase transition] are “unfeasible” - such an assertion is not surprising.

It’s good that you’re at least trying to form an opinion.

Look closer:

BTW - One simple definition of Quantum Mechanics is “the science of quantifying the energy state of a system”. The system in question can be as small as (or even smaller than) a single particle... or as big as the universe.

Maybe what you were trying to say is that certain theoretical applications of Quantum Mechanics, associated with the word “Quantum” in popular media, are not demonstrably feasible... yet.

Get back to me when you can manipulate singular atoms of a system.

They cannot move, they cannot vibrate. As the space gets smaller and smaller the temperatures at which they freeze gets higher and higher.

Nope, there is no correlation between movement and freezing temperature at all.
