Scientific constants named for those who defined them
Avogadro’s number
Planck’s Constant
Graham’s number
Coulomb - Charles-Augustin de Coulomb (Its SI definition is the charge transported by a constant current of one ampere in one second)
ETA: For educational purposes can we back-fill the previous three with some information? I know Avagadro and Plank, but not Graham. That would be cool.
Scientific constants named for those who defined them
Avogadro’s number
Planck’s Constant
Graham’s number - The largest number ever used in a serious mathematical proof. The number’s so large, it could not be written down even if each number was the size of one atom. It ends with a 7.
