I find the values of the fundamental constants here
https://physics.nist.gov/cuu/Constants/
In anticipation of the data of 2022, I want to clarify one point.

Planck's constant is related by an exact expression to some other fundamental quantities:
$$h = \frac{\alpha^2 m_e с^2}{2R_c}\qquad (1)$$

c = 299 792 458 m⁄s (exact)
me = 9.109 383 7015(28)∙10-31 kg
α = 7.297 352 5693(11)∙10-3
Rc =3.289 841 960 2508(64)∙1015 s

The SI units are defined in such a way that, when the Planck constant is expressed in SI units, it has the exact value h = 6.62607015×10-34 J⋅Hz-1

As of 2018, R and electron spin g-factor are the most accurately measured physical constants.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rydberg_constant

2010 R= 10 973 731.568 539 (55) m-1
2014 R=10 973 731.568 508 (65) m-1
2018 R=10 973 731.568 160 (21) m-1

We see a big leap in value.
So the previous accuracy is a bluff.
Maybe I'm wrong , but its related to the problem called Proton radius puzzle

Which value in the above formula (1) will be determined experimentally, and which one is calculated if h(exact), c(exact) ?

The value of Planck's constant, h, will be determined experimentally. The values of the other fundamental constants, c, me, α, and Rc, will be calculated from the exact value of h, c, and the measured values of me, α, and Rc.
 
Insights auto threads is broken atm, so I'm manually creating these for new Insight articles. In her YouTube video Bell’s Theorem Experiments on Entangled Photons, Dr. Fugate shows how polarization-entangled photons violate Bell’s inequality. In this Insight, I will use quantum information theory to explain why such entangled photon-polarization qubits violate the version of Bell’s inequality due to John Clauser, Michael Horne, Abner Shimony, and Richard Holt known as the...
Not an expert in QM. AFAIK, Schrödinger's equation is quite different from the classical wave equation. The former is an equation for the dynamics of the state of a (quantum?) system, the latter is an equation for the dynamics of a (classical) degree of freedom. As a matter of fact, Schrödinger's equation is first order in time derivatives, while the classical wave equation is second order. But, AFAIK, Schrödinger's equation is a wave equation; only its interpretation makes it non-classical...
I asked a question related to a table levitating but I am going to try to be specific about my question after one of the forum mentors stated I should make my question more specific (although I'm still not sure why one couldn't have asked if a table levitating is possible according to physics). Specifically, I am interested in knowing how much justification we have for an extreme low probability thermal fluctuation that results in a "miraculous" event compared to, say, a dice roll. Does a...
