Are There Physical Phenomena That Cannot Be Quantized?

[Kherubin]

I have been advised that the questions that I ask in another thread in the Chemistry Forum may be better assessed by those who frequent the General Physics Forum.

I would be much obliged if you could take a look at the following link, and provide any thoughts, feedback, ideas that you may have.

Thank you,

I have repeatedly heard it said that the number of chemical species and, by extension, the entirety of chemical knowledge is infinite. I have been pondering this thought plenty in recent times and would welcome the opinions of others.

Honestly I'd say think of it more as a generalized statement rather than saying everything in chemistry IS infinite. I think it's just a way of saying there's a LOT of different chemicals and such.

In lieu of my previous question, (https://www.physicsforums.com/showthread.php?t=494393), which seemed a bit tricky to answer (!), I will simply ask the deeper physical question that lies at its base.

That questions is whether there are any physical phenomena (temperature, pressure, concentration) which cannot ultimately be quantized?

Any thoughts on this matter?

Thanks
