Dude! Planck’s constant is h, not e. They fooled me because they said which German physicist is it named after and one of the choices was Heisenberg. Don’t you think they should call it p?
(h = 6.626176 x 10 exp 34 joule-seconds)

p was probably already in use by that time (ca. 1901) as the symbol for momentum.

The committee for names almost named it after Heisenberg, but too many committee members were uncertain about the choice.
