What are the 7 constants? The seven defining constants are: the caesium hyperfine frequency Δν Cs the speed of light in vacuum c. the Planck constant h. the elementary charge e. the Boltzmann constant k. the Avogadro constant NA, and. the luminous efficacy of a defined visible radiation K. cd How many universal constants are there? If you give a physicist the laws of physics, the initial conditions of the Universe, and these 26 constants, they can successfully simulate any aspect of the entire Universe. What is meant by a universal constant? Definition of universal constant : a physical constant of wide application and frequent occurrence in physical formulas the speed of light, c, the electronic charge, e, and the Planck constant, h, are universal constants. Is Pi a universal constant? 3.141 (3+1+4+1=9) Well, Pi is different from all other numbers. It is a universal constant encoded in most processes occurring in the universe, including those in the life sciences! Is gravity a universal constant? Is 9.8 the force of gravity? The numerical value for the acceleration of gravity is most accurately known as 9.8 m/s/s. There are slight variations in this numerical value (to the second decimal place) that are dependent primarily upon altitude. This is not to be mistaken for the Universal Gravitational Constant G Constant at any point in this universe. G = 6.67408×10–11Nm2/kg2. Time as we know it, hours, minutes, and seconds are man-made and used to show how long something takes to decay from exposure to radiation they use it to measure half-lives in atomic decay chains. Nature knows only cycles. Hidden phi or golden ratio symmetry as found in solid state matter“On the atomic scale particles do not behave as we know it in the macro-atomic world. New properties emerge which are the result of an effect known as Heisenberg’s Uncertainty Principle. In order to study these nanoscale quantum effects the researchers have focused on the magnetic material cobalt niobate. It consists of linked magnetic atoms, which form chains just like a very thin bar magnet, but only one atom wide and is a useful model for describing ferromagnetism on the nanoscale in solid-state matter. When applying a magnetic field at right angles to an aligned spin the magnetic chain will transform into a new state called quantum critical, which can be thought of as a quantum version of a fractal pattern. Prof. Alan Tennant, the leader of the Berlin group, explained; “The system reaches a quantum uncertain — or a Schrödinger cat state. This is what we did in our experiments with cobalt niobate. We have tuned the system exactly in order to turn it quantum critical.” By tuning the system and artificially introducing more quantum uncertainty the researchers observed that the chain of atoms acts like a nanoscale guitar string. Dr. Radu Coldea from Oxford University, who is the principal author of the paper and drove the international project from its inception a decade ago until the present, explains: “Here the tension comes from the interaction between spins causing them to magnetically resonate. For these interactions, we found a series (scale) of resonant notes: The first two notes show a perfect relationship with each other. Their frequencies (pitch) are in the ratio of 1.618…, which is the golden ratio famous from art and architecture.” Radu Coldea is convinced that this is no coincidence. “It reflects a beautiful property of the quantum system — a hidden symmetry. Actually, quite a special one called E8 by mathematicians, and this is its first observation in a material,” he explains.” The E8 structure itself has relationships to Phi (1.618).
