Amazing fact about bacteria
A bacteria multiplying for 16 days made the same amount of generations as a human in 30,000 years.

De units of Hbar
So apparantly the units of Planck’s constant is the same as the units of Angular momentum. I don’t really get this why would this be. Kg m^2/t
If we look at E=hv … why is the frequency times a constant related to the angular momentum the same as the energy of the photon. Is this an interesting connection? I don’t know.
What is the angular momentum of a wave … its polarization?
Or does it have to do with angular frequency?
Elitzur Vaidman bombs, quite interesting
What would happen if you put a black hole there instead of a bomb
