The Planck relation now describes the energy of each photon in terms of the photon's frequency. This energy is extremely small in terms of ordinary experience. The reduced Planck constant is the quantum of angular momentum in quantum mechanics.
Planck's constant, symbolized h, relates the energy in one quantum (photon) of electromagnetic radiation to the frequency of that radiation. In the International System of units (SI), the constant is equal to approximately 6.626176 x 10-34 joule-seconds.
The hidden reality of our existence, as if by a filtering tissue of experience we are screened from important matters.
"One question debated at the conference [1911; 1st Solvay Conference] was the famous "twin paradox." Einstein had already made mention of the strange paradoxes concerning the slowing down of time."
