“Some places are like people: some shine and some don’t” – to quote a classic. The “Les Moires” hotel is the only shining point for many kilometers around. Far from popular tourist trails, it exists as if time did not exist – it does not age, it does not grow young, it simply is. It is said that high in the mountains, time flows faster, although such differences are imperceptible to humans. Although “Les Moires” itself does not experience time, the fates of its inhabitants accelerate compared to what happens closer to the ground. The fact that this acceleration is noticeable contradicts any laws of classical physics. Minutes and seconds seem to be more compressed in time, so there are more of them in one day and one night than a simple clock would measure. In this suspiciously accelerating time, a certain property of the physical world, which could be called quanta of events, also accelerates.

What does the term “quantum” mean? The word quantum in Latin means “how much.” In physics, a quantum describes the smallest portion that any physical quantity can have or change by in a single event. Simply put, a quantum is a portion that cannot be divided. A cake cannot be cut infinitely. There is a smallest possible piece that can be offered to a guest.
