Abstract
The first introduction of natural units into physics is universally attributed to Max Planck, however, similar units were used by George Johnstone Stoney as early as 1874. They arose out of investigations that led to Stoney’s successful prediction of the electron charge and their development is described here.
Correspondence with John Barrow
OK, John, let’s get a handle on the Riemann hypothesis. The Riemann zeta function is made for base-2 notation. We will exegete his 1859 article “On the Number of Primes Less Than a Given Magnitude.” -BEC
