I recognize the individual words but this makes no sense. A quantum oscillator is one example of a quantum system described by the Schrödinger equation, but not everything described by it is an oscillator. Huh?

No. The Schrödinger equation for a particle in a box, for example, gives you energy eigenstates. They don’t vary in time, which is why they are called stationary. The particle has no defined motion, and it’s possible to find the particle outside of a well of finite depth. The solution gives probability of where you might find the particle.

Because of biology, or because of cultural norms and constraints? Here are six current ones. https://www.townandcountrymag.com/society/tradition/g28565280/matriarchal-societies-list/ More, if you go into the history books

(emphasis added) There are a number of claims here that you have not shown are true, and basing a discussion on false premises leads to a flawed conclusion.

A recent suspension was announced for "persistently posting above his level of understanding" and I want to clarify that it's not against the rules to be wrong, but it is against the rules to not back up claims. If you're going to assert that the moon is made of cheese, you're going to have to back that up. This requirement is explicitly pointed out in the speculations guidelines. The underlying rules violation is soapboxing: repeated claims without justification for them. Further, making multiple wild assertions not based in any mainstream science can be considered spamming. Both behaviors are unacceptable.

There seems to be only one source, with no detail as to how it was collected and what biases might exist.

Once the air condenses, it releases the energy. If you shift the equilibrium, you are only storing the energy of that amount of water. Plus, you've made the atmosphere more efficient at trapping heat. It's a feedback term. Can you estimate how much energy would be stored for a 1% shift in humidity? I'll bet it's not a lot, comparatively.

You’re assuming the vapor never condenses. Is that resonable?

Why would it? The thermal energy is still around.

How much water do you use each day for cooking? The energy is being absorbed here on the planet, so I don’t see how the heat island effect would be reduced. To reduce albedo the light has to be reflected out to space. Solar thermal would tend to increase absorption.

Thermal benefits from scaling (bigger is better) — you need a certain number of mirrors to efficiently heat your material, and then you need a way to produce electricity, which also benefits from scaling. This is why it's done at the utility scale, not the home scale. Having direct heat is only useful when it's cold. So only a few months of the year in some places.

You say you consider elementary particles, and quarks qualify. Protons, however, do not.

You mention quarks only as components of neutrons and protons. That’s it. It does not address my point about mass and charge.

That would seem to violate causality.
