For example, if you were told that the speed of light was 7.9×1014 , that would be meaningless; the reason for this is that the numerical value depends on the system of measuring rods and clocks you use. If you use metres and seconds you would get c = 3 × 108 ms−1 , if you use miles ...

From wave functions to quantum fields
... Hence, the 2 states p |1a , p~i and |1b , p~i have the same energy, same momentum (and thus same mass since m = E 2 |~ p|2 ) but opposite charge: |1b , p~i is just the antiparticle of |1a , p~i (and vise-versa). Moreover, since we can apply the creation operator several times, we can have states lik ...
