6. Conclusion
It was very easy to introduce the quantities (c 4 /G) and (c 5 /G) into the basic equations of Quantum Mechanics (and we can even say that such an introduction constitutes a very trivial operation) but it is very dufficult to interpretate their part played in these equations. When we introduce the quantities (c 4 /G) and (c 5 /G) e.g. into the classical equations of Newton and Coulomb we see immediately their meaning as limiting quantities i.e. the greatest force and the greatest power but when we introduce them into the basic equations of Quantum Mechanics we do not see clearly their physical meaning. They work, however in these equations and therefore we can think that also here they play not only a role of constants but also as limiting quantities, as the greates force and the greatest power.
