A new, very good, trailer for Quantum of Solace has shown up at the film's official site. I did a little research (by research I mean putting the words into google) to try and figure out what that title means.

quan·tum (kwntm)
n. pl. quan·ta (-t)
1. A quantity or amount.
2. A specified portion.
3. Something that can be counted or measured.
4. Physics
a. The smallest amount of a physical quantity that can exist independently, especially a discrete quantity of electromagnetic radiation.
b. This amount of energy regarded as a unit.

Function:
transitive verb
Inflected Form(s):
so·laced; so·lac·ing
Date:
13th century

1: to give solace to : console2 a: to make cheerful b: amuse3: allay, soothe
— so·lace·ment Listen to the pronunciation of solacement \-mənt\ noun
— so·lac·er noun

So there you have it, summed up it basically means an amount of console. Why couldn't they just have named the film that?
