  "**h is exact.** 6.62607015 × 10⁻³⁴ J s since 2019; masses from CODATA 2018.",
  "**Relativity when it matters.** Momentum is worked relativistically, so a 50 kV microscope beam comes out 5.36 pm.",
  "**The wave needs an obstacle its size.** A wavelength shows only when something about that size is in its way; the card says so.",
  "**Warm things have waves.** The thermal wavelength grows as things cool; past the spacing between atoms, the gas acts as one wave.",
  "**Published checks.** 0.1226 nm at 100 V; 0.1798 nm for a 2,200 m/s neutron.",
  "**Refused, not guessed.** A speed of c, a mass of zero or a temperature of zero is refused."
