It is not convenient to try to understand quantized energy, since we have no direct physical conception of it (no direct sense experience of energy). It would be more useful to reduce the quantization of energy to quantization of length, or time, or both.

This means that we should use the Planck–Einstein relation `E=hν` and deduce from it an equivalent expression that gives us a quantization of length or time.
