An almost infinitesimal period of time

July 29th, 2007

One century ago; ie, a decent lifetime..

Our world view has changed dramatically in a relatively short period of time. To cast back one hundred years the existence of the atom in modern scientific circles was not widely accepted.

How strange to imagine folks still wandering around on this spinning mass of rock in space didn’t have any kind of insight to their own structural makeup.

My understanding is limited, and no doubt will seem primitive to those future folk who sit here when my mortal body decompiles.

I believe through analysis, that my heritage is a combination of Klingon, Vulcan but primarily human, which would account for the inconsistent thought processes, a need to get shit organized, and a complete lack of empathy for any other viewpoint..

So to do some serious thinking here..

Planks constant is where I will begin. For it serves well as a starting, learning point.

The Planck constant (denoted h) is a physical constant that is used to describe the sizes of quanta. It plays a central role in the theory of quantum mechanics, and is named after Max Planck, one of the founders of quantum theory. A closely-related quantity is the reduced Planck constant (also known as Dirac’s constant and denoted ħ, pronounced “h-bar”). The Planck constant is also used in measuring energy emitted as photons, such as in the equation E=hν, where E is energy, h is Planck’s constant, and ν (Greek letter nu) is frequency. The Planck constant and the reduced Planck constant are used to describe quantization, a phenomenon occurring in subatomic particles such as electrons and photons in which certain physical properties occur in fixed amounts rather than assuming a continuous range of possible values.

More to follow, just need to extract the information from a parallel universe.
