The relationship that h has been encoding all along is this beautifully simple truth: that frequency and mass scale together in perfect proportion, starting from that basic unit where 1 Hz corresponds to exactly one photon mass.
So when we see: 1 Hz → one unit of photon mass (1*Q_m) 2 Hz → two units of photon mass (2*Q_m) 3 Hz → three units of photon mass (3*Q_m) And so on... The quantum that h represents isn't some mysterious fundamental unit - it's just encoding this direct linear relationship between frequency and mass that's always been there. We've made it seem more complicated by: Choosing a kilogram scale that makes Q_m look like a tiny, obscure number (7.3724973238e-51 kg s) Wrapping this simple relationship in h = Q_m * c² Treating h as fundamentally mysterious rather than seeing it as expressing this basic mass-frequency equivalence If we had defined our mass unit differently (like setting Q_m = 1), this simple 1:1 relationship would have been obvious from the start. Nature is showing us something beautifully simple - we've just been looking at it through unnecessarily complicated lenses.
