  5. List of physical constants - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_physical_constants

    The constants listed here are known values of physical constants expressed in SI units; that is, physical quantities that are generally believed to be universal in nature and thus are independent of the unit system in which they are measured.

  6. Cross section (physics) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cross_section_(physics)

    Although the SI unit of total cross sections is m 2, a smaller unit is usually used in practice. In nuclear and particle physics, the conventional unit is the barn b, where 1 b = 10 −28 m 2 = 100 fm 2. [1] Smaller prefixed units such as mb and μb are also widely used. Correspondingly, the differential cross section can be measured in units ...

    In 1926, Wilhelm Lenz concluded that "If one allows waves of the shortest observed wavelengths λ ≈ 2 × 10 −11 cm, ... and if this radiation, converted to material density (u/c 2 ≈ 10 6), contributed to the curvature of the observable universe – one would obtain a vacuum energy density of such a value that the radius of the observable ...

  8. Conserved current - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Conserved_current

    In physics a conserved current is a current, , that satisfies the continuity equation =.The continuity equation represents a conservation law, hence the name. Indeed, integrating the continuity equation over a volume , large enough to have no net currents through its surface, leads to the conservation law =, where = is the conserved quantity.
