The units on Plank's constant is m^2 * kg / s
I'm new to all of this stuff so... Why?

Plank's constant, denoted as h, is a fundamental physical constant that is used to describe the relationship between the energy of a photon and its frequency. It was first introduced by Max Planck in 1900.
The units of Plank's constant are Joule seconds (J·s) in the International System of Units (SI). It can also be expressed in electron volts seconds (eV·s) in the atomic unit system.
Plank's constant is a universal constant and is not measured directly. Instead, it is derived through experiments and theoretical calculations, such as the photoelectric effect and blackbody radiation.
Plank's constant plays a crucial role in quantum mechanics and is used in many equations to describe the behavior of particles at the atomic and subatomic levels. It is also used in various fields of physics, such as electronics, optics, and thermodynamics.
No, Plank's constant is a fundamental constant and is believed to be a constant value in nature. It has been experimentally verified to be the same value throughout different points in time and space. However, there are some theories that suggest it may vary in extreme conditions, but this has not been proven.
