Takeaway
- The relative standard uncertainty fell by a factor of about 74 from the 1969 to the 2014 edition (1.7×10⁻⁴ → 2.3×10⁻⁶): the error bars narrowed that much.
- All 8 earlier editions with a measured value contain the 2022 value within ±1σ (the error bar). The 2022 value is exact.
- The largest move between editions came in 2006→2010, at 0.6 times the combined standard uncertainty of the two editions (|z| = 0.6).
- Exact from the 2018 edition (fixed by definition rather than measured), so its uncertainty is zero.
- Unit
- W m⁻² K⁻⁴
- Note
- = (π²/60)k⁴/ħ³c². Exact from the 2018 edition.
- M1
- Half-life (years): 7.34 (6.49–8.44)
