Hi Marsha, Physics is interesting isn't it? I love the metaphysical aspects. I think (in my naivete) that constants such a Plank's are more a result of the math, than the reality (whatever that is). These constants seem to fall out when we are equating things that are of different dimensional qualities. But is interesting to know, that with the math of quantum theory we are only able to measure little itsy bitsy Planks. There is also something about Cubits that is interesting, but I forget what now. Anyway, Planks and Cubits. One makes up the world and one saved humanity from the Great Flood. Cool stuff.
The rationality of these theories is still based on assumptions, which we make up.
