My questions are: what is the best intro book to quantum mechanics? And, do prime numbers play a part in physics?
-
Thanks for the recommendations. I learned a bit of quantum mechanics in high school, and it was really nice. Maybe the speed of light is prime, but we just don't know the exact number :)
well the speed of light is a constant of the universe, and any number you assign to it that has units will be solely based on a convention. It's most natural to take c=1, which is not prime;)

Well then if c=1 and mass is prime, then so is energy :)
-
haha well that'd be true at rest.. but there are way more energies that are not prime than those that are!
