Thanks for the link, mikebw, but unless I missed it, it didn't explain the actual method he used to come up with the constant(s) we call planck constant(s). Did he just do trial and error zeroing in on a value that worked out consistent with measurements or is the value of the constant(s) actually derived from other factors?
