Constants Reflect Dimension Minus 1?

02/23/2009 10:12 AM

Planck: E=h.v this reflects a frequency or wave (2 dimensions?) with the constant in 1 dimension; Einstein E=m.c2; this reflects mass (3 dimensions) with the constant in 2 dimensions. I am a dummy in this field, but is there some argument for this? Kind regards

where is the constant in

E= mc2 ?

E = Energy = ML2T-2

m = mass = M

c = velocity of light = LT-1

h = plancks constant = ML2T-1

ν = Frequency = T-1

So

mc2 = M (LT-1)2 = ML2T-2

hν = ML2T-1. T-1 =ML2T-2

If you convert in dimensions it becomes clear.
