Quantum mechanics is not the simplest explanation around.

Plancks energy equation should be

E=htf

h should be in the units of Joule as opposed to Joule second.

This formula reveals the true nature of the photon: its not a fundamental particle. What we regard as a photon today is the energy of 1 seconds worth of light at some frequency f.

Every wavelength of light contains the same energy, h, regardless of frequency.

When you realize plancks constant should be in Joules you will shortly realize that the fine structure constant actually has units of seconds.

Another neat thing is that light has mass: h/c^2 (ridiculously small). If it has mass then it should have net charge as well. This could explain why light curves without needing general relativity.

Coulombs law using permeability of free space instead of permittivity reveals that coulombs law is a long form of expressing E=mc^2

F * d = muc^2 q1q2/d

E = (h2alpha/e^2c)(q1*q2/d)c^2

I lack the requisite amount of sleep to evaluate the truth of this post, but I did really enjoy the fact that this appears to be an unusual explanation of basic concepts that doesn't immediately devolve into mysticism.
Thank you for your consideration, I usually get down voted for saying this on here.
Do you have any references for this conjecture? It's an interesting idea, but I'd like to see any more work done exploring this line of thought.
I recommend reading the papers here https://forgottenphysics.com/

They're all short reads. There's one of them that goes into the history of E=hf and how Planck actually originally had E=htf but Boltzmann criticized him for it
