En el caso de los litros, siempre podemos desarrollar alguna unidad de medida acordada como esta con la que contar las cosas. Cuando pregunt\u00e9 sobre contar la arena, podr\u00edas haber interpretado que esto significaba contar el n\u00famero de litros de arena o kilogramos de arena. Pero estas unidades de medida son un poco arbitrarias, en lugar de litros o kilogramos, se podr\u00eda contar en galones o libras o toneladas. Son convenciones acordadas que podr\u00edan cambiarse. Un cuanto significa algo menos arbitrario, una cosa indivisible para contar que no depender\u00eda de un est\u00e1ndar de medida arbitrario.     <\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><a href=\"https:\/\/quantum2025.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/counting_water.png\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"355\" data-src=\"https:\/\/quantum2025.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/counting_water-1024x355.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-4704 lazyload\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/quantum2025.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/counting_water-1024x355.png 1024w, https:\/\/quantum2025.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/counting_water-300x104.png 300w, https:\/\/quantum2025.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/counting_water-768x266.png 768w, https:\/\/quantum2025.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/counting_water-1536x533.png 1536w, https:\/\/quantum2025.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/counting_water.png 1807w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 1024px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 1024\/355;\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns are-vertically-aligned-center is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-9d6595d7 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-vertically-aligned-center is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\" style=\"flex-basis:100%\"><div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"alignleft size-full is-resized\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"452\" height=\"631\" data-src=\"https:\/\/quantum2025.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/Quinnies-Transp-blue-1.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-4681 lazyload\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 452px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 452\/631;width:58px;height:auto\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/quantum2025.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/Quinnies-Transp-blue-1.png 452w, https:\/\/quantum2025.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/Quinnies-Transp-blue-1-215x300.png 215w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 452px) 100vw, 452px\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading has-text-align-left\"><strong>Entonces, para contar el agua, \u00bfte refieres a contar las mol\u00e9culas de agua?<\/strong><\/h4>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-9d6595d7 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\" style=\"flex-basis:100%\"><div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"alignright size-full is-resized\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"469\" height=\"609\" data-src=\"https:\/\/quantum2025.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/Quinnies-Transp-pink-1.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-4685 lazyload\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 469px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 469\/609;width:58px\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/quantum2025.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/Quinnies-Transp-pink-1.png 469w, https:\/\/quantum2025.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/Quinnies-Transp-pink-1-231x300.png 231w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 469px) 100vw, 469px\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p>S\u00ed, una mol\u00e9cula de agua ser\u00eda una cantidad de agua m\u00e1s apropiada.
