golden ratio wave mechanics and hydrogen:clue to constructive charge collapse and therefore gravity?
It is clear that planck length times powers of golden ratio virtually precisely predicts multiple hydrogen radii www.goldenmean.info/goldenproof

evidence suggests golden ratio may be the most generalized solution to constructive wave interference www.goldenmean.info/matrix

and as such play a fundamental role in the 'cause' of gravity? www.goldenmean.info/gravityislove

Planck's constant
When I read "if a beam of light illuminated a target for 3 seconds", I imagine too replacing 3s by the period of the frequency to get the energy delivered for this period, so for one cycle. In this case whatever the frequency the energy will always have the value of h, the same for a frequency of 1Hz. Why don't add this in this article ?

 * This section is totally wrong, not only concerning the physics, but also historically. The phrase "the energy delivered would be h × 3 × 540 × 10¹² joules" implies that Planck's constant is dimensionless, but it has dimension $$\mathsf{M} \mathsf{L}^{2} \mathsf{T}^{-1}.$$ Planck did originally not believe that the mathematical quantization allowing a derivation of his law corresponded to something "physically real". The now commonly accepted theory that light is transmitted in actual "energy quanta" is entirely due to Einstein; Planck initially opposed this idea.

 * The section might be based on Ref. 6 (Suntola). That reference is not mainstream science, but some form of QM/relativity denialism. Jähmefyysikko (discuss • contribs) 18:57, 1 October 2023 (UTC)
