Planck's Constant - Sixty Symbols

This is one of the most important numbers in physics and is "unimaginably small" - or does it just seems small? More symbols explained at http://www.sixtysymbols.com/

he says he can edit it out, but he doesn't. classic.

@Schmoikel The best way to know thy enemy is to read his documentation. This is why I've always had problems with censorship of unpopular books. Mein Kampf being a huge example (banned in many countries, Holland and Germany for two, I believe). I've read it, and perhaps in the luxurious glow of hindsight it shows some extraordinary clues that could have been used against him rather easily. Limiting your reading to things you agree with is a good way of limiting yourself.

Would this constant change if the speed of light is not the fastest thing in the universe?

Recent study of Neutrino's and Early expansion of the universe are evidence that the speed of light is not the maximum attainable speed possible.

it's an "unimaginably number" if you're a compulsive homocentrist (not that different from a compulsive geocentrist). "small" and "large" can be seen as absolute - as well as relative. also: what does it have to do with imagination - which is like telling that a perpetuum mobile is possible.

Could you do a video about "why" and on what one can point with tis "why" - the past (why is her leg broken? because she fell.), the future (why does she wear a splint? because this will lead to a healing of the broken leg.), it can point at details (why is her leg broken? because the structure of the bone is too weak for absorbing such and such force.) it can point at the context (why is her leg broken? because an external force was applied on it.).

IF ur interested in quantum physics, anti gravity or cold fusion check out Seattle4truth. He also goes over planks constant and it is very interesting.

I like the Irish guy and the brunette girl the most. The smiley guy with the soft voice is pulling in a close third though.

@orthant fool.... it matched the data

The constant is anthropocentric by its very nature - and relates to light - or the accuracy by which the physical phenomenon of light can be perceived by human vision. The question is not if nature is quantized by the quants of Planck, but that the observer (human) is limited in his/her accuracy by which to perceive nature in a PHYSICAL SCALE - a scale that intimately relates to the scale of human PHYSICAL SENSES (vision among others). How Planck figured this "accuracy" out is a mystery.
