论文摘要
1977年,珀塞尔(Purcell)问为什么液体粘度都在同一地方停止?液体很难理解,但是今天,我们可以根据固定粘度最小的基本物理常数来回答Purcell问题。随着普朗克恒定的粘度最小,水和生命似乎很适合物理世界的量子程度。
In 1977, Purcell asked why liquid viscosities all stop at the same place? Liquids are hard to understand, yet today we can answer the Purcell question in terms of fundamental physical constants fixing viscosity minima. With the Planck constant setting the minimal viscosity, water and life appear to be well attuned to the degree of quantumness of the physical world.
