Umm, huh? If you by 'g' mean the Earth's gravity acceleration (9.8 m/s^2) then the units don't add up. If you're thinking about gravitational potential energy, then the formula has been E=mgh ever since Newton's days.ninelven said:More like mg^2, but it will prolly be another 50 years before they figure that out...
Ahhh, Planck units. These are used a bit in cosmology, and unlike joules, meters etc, they don't depend on arbitrary measures devised by human beings.LeGreg said:It could have been rewritten to E=m with the right choice of units.
I meant neither.arjan de lumens said:Umm, huh? If you by 'g' mean the Earth's gravity acceleration (9.8 m/s^2) then the units don't add up. If you're thinking about gravitational potential energy, then the formula has been E=mgh ever since Newton's days.
Then what the hell are you talking about?ninelven said:I meant neither.
They're used in most of physics, actually. They're just damned convenient.arjan de lumens said:Ahhh, Planck units. These are used a bit in cosmology, and unlike joules, meters etc, they don't depend on arbitrary measures devised by human beings.
No, I've known about the experiment in question for some time. And the second link is very questionable. Most particularly, it would be hard to reconcile with quantum mechanics.ninelven said:I guess you didn't actually read the links.... oh well.
