More than millions. We are talking around 10^10^123!!Wild eh?

We are talking around 10^10^123!!Wild eh?I wonder why it is that although we have known this for about 200 years and there is not even one piece of experimental evidence that it is not what is real; we still cling to magical ideas of reality.
If we reduce it even further, there may be no motion at all.

Vern if you could mess. me, it would be appreciated. I have a few things to discuss with you. Thnks
I suspect we should be careful of Planck units. We can only logically deduce one Planck unit. That is the constant whose energy is E = hv; we can deduce from that simple equation that the amplitude of electric and magnetic potential is a constant in photons. This is an absolute deduction as real as 1 + 1 = 2. Planck's constant is the energy content of the rate of change of electric and magnetic amplitude over time. If the amplitude reached by this change were variable, it would need be part of the equation. It is not part of the equation. It is a constant. We would then suspect; since we never see a greater amplitude value; that this constant electric and magnetic amplitude for empty space is the maximum that empty space can support.But just because this is real for electromagnetic amplitudes in empty space, it does not even suggest that it may have any meaning at all for other things like time and spatial area.
What are the fundamental factors that demand the quantization of space-time? We have those with the electromagnetic field; we don't hove those with spatial or temporal dimensions.
It is known from relativity that an absolute frame of reference does not exist. It is therefore obvious that the rest of the maximass can exist only in comparison with other observers.
The physical meaning of the formula derives from the ratio of the velocity c of the wavefronts moving in the orbit and the velocity ve of the wave source-electron in the same orbit.We must remember that we are referring to those wavefronts moving along the ideal tube whose axis is the orbit on which the closed path of the electron-wave source lies.Figure 95 shows that "137" wavefronts of wavelength le move in the orbit in a resonance state, and that for each revolution made by the wave source the wavefronts coming from it make "137" revolutions.
But just because this is real for electromagnetic amplitudes in empty space, it does not even suggest that it may have any meaning at all for other things like time and spatial area.
I didn't mean to suggest that space and time can not exist as quantized chunks. They may very well be. It is just that Planck's constant is a completely different animal with an easily discovered cause which would be different for space and time.Cause of Planck's constant: The maximum electric and magnetic amplitude of electromagnetic waves is a constant.This can be derived from E = hv. It says that photon energy is Planck's constant times the rate of change of the electromagnetic field. The change of the electromagnetic field must go to some amplitude. This amplitude is not part of the equation. It must therefore be a constant.
