GPS and physical magnitudes
I present a peculiar way to understand the revolutions of quantum mechanics and special relativity. The reasoning is the dynamic principle proposed by Newton, F = ma, a force corresponds to an action on a point particle and the result is that this particle is accelerated. The left side of the equation represents the forces of nature, while the right side provides a universal response to these forces. This answer depends on what type of force acting on the particle, is a basic answer, the particle does not want to change your state of motion.
further consideration to the right side of the equation of Newton. Are three physical parameters: mass (m), distance (L) and time (T) (the acceleration is distance divided by time squared). It is a fact that only three magnitudes deeper governing the response of a particle to any action that is exerted on it.
So we have three quantities: M, L and T. It is natural to study their relationships. The relationship between L and T is a high speed. The existence of a maximum speed c (speed of light) gives rise to special relativity. The existence of a minimum quantum of action (ћ) results in quantum mechanics. These two pillars of physics are therefore two reasons linked to the key figures.
This observation seems natural to predict that great revolutions are not outstanding. This statement is too strong. There are fields of physics, such as statistical physics, which arise when considering a large number of particles (Avogadro's number, which has no dimensions). But it is more important to understand that we must establish one of the three figures as reference points and keep the two previous relationships. We face the conceptual problem set is an absolute scale of mass, distance or time. This scale can be the Planck scale, which characterizes the appearance of quantum gravitational phenomena.
At the Planck scale, mc ^ 2 = 10 ^ 19 Gev, the concept of a differentiable spacetime can be completely replaced by something unknown. The space-time continuum would correspond to a low energy effective approximation to reality

is an intriguing possibility.
