Planck's constant, h. The limit goes to zero?

Katiethedil · Dec 10, 2009

Why does it work out classically that the limit of h goes to zero? I'm reading a paper that says in QM, this is different. It's also talking about Bohr. Any ideas?

Why must h-bar go to zero classically? There are too many other fundamental constants that depend on h-bar. Of course, you could set the fine structure constant to zero, I guess. See thread

Thanks Bob. I'm not sure why this paper says that.
