What if I finally memorize Planck's constant and someone changes it?

Answer 1

If God changes it, only a team of quantum physicists could work out all the implications. At any scale above the quantum scale, the effect probably wouldn't be noticeable.

The fundamental belief that God is a God of order is the only reason science got started in the first place. That's the basis of the original belief in cause and effect. Without that, there's no point studying science, because what you observe might not happen the next time.

It's much more likely that new experiments will produce a slightly more refined, more accurate value for Planck's constant. But as you can tell from the uncertainty specifications in the reference, the first 7 digits are very unlikely to change.

Answer 2

It wouldn't be much of a constant, then, would it?
Besides, if it is found to be non-constant, it is likely we would just attach some scaling factor, for example how we apply er * e0 for permittivity, e0 is still a useful number to memorize. Maybe you could memorize that instead? I'm sure it'd be much more useful anwyay...

Answer 3

Sometimes constants do change. You really only need to remember it to pass a test though don't you? The rest of the time you can look it up.

Answer 4

It would change the physics of the Universe, and we would all die almost immediately. So, no worries! Memorize away!

Answer 5

Simple . Study the changed value .

Answer 6

go ahead memorise it ...cause nobody can change the constants since they are alredy hypothetical or fixed nos or digits accepted by the universal scientific authorities

Answer 7

If planks constant was different to what we know it is, then the universe would be so phenomenally different that I doubt you would be here to consider this question....

Answer 8

...you can save it on a refrigerator magnet for ole' times sake
