| Abstract | Non-technical abstract “Limits” play an important role in physics, just like speed limits play an important role on our roads. For example, nothing can move faster than the speed of light. This limit was the basis of Einstein’s theory of relatively, and it governs everything from how we do astronomy to how we build nuclear reactors. Recently, a new type of limit has emerged called the “Planckian limit”. This proposed limit states that electrons can “run into” each other in a metal no faster than |
