- Christiaan Huygens first proposed the wave theory of light.
- Harmonic oscillators became a model.
- Plank created a model of a sphere with a tiny hole in it. Light can enter but not exit. Inside it's full of harmonic oscillators
- The relationship between the internal harmonic oscillators and the outside properties is the Boltzmann constant. The speed of light is well calculated too on a cosmic scale, like Galileo and subatomic scale, like Faraday.
- The smallest things can be with these two constants, both well proven empirically and theoretically, is the Planck length
What is its significance
- Things absorb energy for a little bit before changing external temperature.
- Things interact with internal configuration.
- Things are discrete.
- Things can only be so small.
- With frequency not momentum driving interaction, relativity, showing gravity is not a mystical force but a stochastic interaction.
- Wave eigenfunctions. Total energy operator on the wave function is the total energy times the wave function.
That will get you to strings and AdS/CFT correspondence.
