A New Constant

Hmmm... I think Heraclitus might have something to say about that... :wink:
 
HAd to look that up Mick
Like the one Quote
There is nothing constant but change

But as it says in the story
If the speed of light changes
We're in a world of hurt
 
I got a head ache

Which one of our brethren is most likely to get this?

My head hurts after reading that. I’m going to the deli counter to order a half Planck constant of Swiss cheese.
 
Now I have a headache!
 
Ah, but when you actually measure it, you've changed it!

:eagerness:

Thank you, Werner Heisenberg.

Backed up by Schrodinger's cat!
 
Interesting, you cannot define a Planck constant without using the Kg and now you cannot define the Kg without the Planck constant. I emailed this to a Science teacher buddy to ask him if he is looking forward to teaching his incoming freshmen this next year.

So, it's kinda like "chicken or egg", right? :devilgrin:
 
Yup, the article even brings up that allusion.

Max was well ahead of his time, as was Albert... you can't run in circles. Time, unfortunately as we know it is linear. Just as mass has a definitive quantum.

I looked up Schrodinger's Cat. Led me to an article that appeared in the Washington Post. The article was incomprehensible. Then I read the 227 comments after the article. The majority of them were hilarious. My wife and I broke up. There are some seriously funny people out there. Bottom line - no one understands this stuff.
 
Try reading "The Dancing Wu Li Masters".
