  3. Quantum speed limit - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quantum_speed_limit

    The Bekenstein bound limits the amount of information that can be stored within a volume of space. The maximal rate of change of information within that volume of space is given by the quantum speed limit. This product of limits is sometimes called the Bremermann–Bekenstein limit; it is saturated by Hawking radiation. [1]

  4. Centimetre–gram–second system of units - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Centimetre–gram–second...

    For example, the CGS unit of force is the dyne, which is defined as 1 g⋅cm/s 2, so the SI unit of force, the newton (1 kg⋅m/s 2), is equal to 100 000 dynes. On the other hand, in measurements of electromagnetic phenomena (involving units of charge , electric and magnetic fields, voltage , and so on), converting between CGS and SI is less ...

    1.2 cm – length of a bee; 1.2 cm – diameter of a die; 1.5 cm – length of a very large mosquito; 1.6 cm – length of a Jaragua Sphaero, a very small reptile; 1.7 cm – length of a Thorius arboreus, the smallest salamander [111] 2 cm – approximate width of an adult human finger; 2.54 cm – 1 inch; 3.08568 cm – 1 attoparsec; 3.4 cm ...

  7. Speed of light - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Speed_of_Light

    In 1972, using the laser interferometer method and the new definitions, a group at the US National Bureau of Standards in Boulder, Colorado determined the speed of light in vacuum to be c = 299 792 456.2 ± 1.1 m/s. This was 100 times less uncertain than the previously accepted value.

  8. Metre per second squared - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Metre_per_second_squared

    Its symbol is written in several forms as m/s 2, m·s2 or ms −2, , or less commonly, as (m/s)/s. [ 1 ] As acceleration, the unit is interpreted physically as change in velocity or speed per time interval, i.e. metre per second per second and is treated as a vector quantity.

  9. Classical limit - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Classical_limit

    The typical occupation numbers involved are huge: a macroscopic harmonic oscillator with ω = 2 Hz, m = 10 g, and maximum amplitude x 0 = 10 cm, has S ≈ E/ω ≈ mωx 2 0 /2 ≈ 10 −4 kg·m 2 /s = ħn, so that n ≃ 10 30. Further see coherent states. It is less clear, however, how the classical limit applies to chaotic systems, a field ...
