OK, we all know there's tons of websites that give the digits of Pi and even e...But does anyone know how many digits we know Plancks constant to? Is experimentally the only way to determine it?

Planck's Constant is a fundamental physical constant that relates the energy of a photon to its frequency. It is denoted by the symbol h and has a value of approximately 6.626 x 10^-34 joule seconds.
Planck's Constant digits are important because they help us understand the behavior of particles at the atomic and subatomic level. It also plays a crucial role in many areas of physics, such as quantum mechanics and thermodynamics.
Planck's Constant was determined through experiments conducted by German physicist Max Planck in the late 19th and early 20th century. He observed the relationship between the energy of a photon and its frequency, leading to the formulation of this constant.
The digits in Planck's Constant represent the precision with which it is known. The more digits that are known, the more accurate our understanding of the fundamental nature of the universe becomes.
No, Planck's Constant is considered a fundamental constant of nature and is not expected to change. However, as our measurement tools and techniques improve, we may discover more precise values for this constant.
