a photon is divided by its frequency the result will always equal this
constant. All forms of electromagnetic energy, i.e. heat, light, etc. are
governed by Planck’s Constant.
If this minute number were a different size, then the heat we sense in
front of a fire would have been much stronger. Either, at one extreme, the
smallest fire could have contained enough energy to burn us up or at the
other extreme, even a giant fireball the size of the sun would not have been
sufficient to warm the earth.

Frictional Force
Frictional forces are generally considered
inconveniences, as they are encountered
especially while moving things in our daily
lives. However, what would the world be
like if frictional forces were completely

eliminated? Pens and papers would slip
out of our hands and fall down from
the table to the floor, tables would slide
