it’s also the measurement for the shortest possible time span
but also the hottest possible temperature.
Min-Max Planck
aka Planckmaxing
so, carpentry
What do you get when you put a plankmaxxer on a plank?
Bored.
you nailed that one

Mad Max Plank
The Planck units are a choice of natural units relevant to cosmology. They aren’t the smallest or largest of anything. The Planck mass is roughly the same as that of a fruit fly.
In our current established theoretical framework, there is no reason to presume that either time or space are discrete, nor is there experimental evidence for it.
Planck distance is a fundamental unit, otherwise we get the ultraviolet catastrophe
The Planck constant [Js] was introduced to find a way around the UV catastrophe. The Planck length [m] is defined as \sqrt{\frac{\hbar G}{c^3}}, where G is the gravitational constant and c the speed of light in vacuum.
is there any proof for this? that there’s nothing outside it
planck time is just the time it takes for light to travel a Planck distance, and Planck temperature is just a planck distance wavelength.
not really proof, and more like derivate units.
The Planck length is the shortest measurable length, not the shortest possible length. We have no idea how we’d even go about measuring anything smaller, because we don’t understand physics smaller than that. There could be stuff that’s smaller, like even more elementary particles that build everything and determine the rules of the physics and particles that we do understand. Or maybe not. Maybe that’s the smallest anything can be and there isn’t further sub-Planck physics, or maybe it’s just turtles all the way down.
We’ll have to wait for the sub-Planck DLC to drop
uhm, so, this is just my uneducated ass talking, but i’m pretty sure that there’s no particles that make up ordinary matter below the planck length
and i’m saying this because as you split stuff up, you kinda expect the mass of the constituent elements be smaller than the mass of the total. so if you have smaller mass, you have larger uncertainty. and i think when we talk about the “diameter” of subatomic particles, what we really mean, is the uncertainty of its wave function. and that ironically gets larger when you look at smaller particles.
Max length would have been hella confusing.
Dude set out to show it was all bullshit and figured out one of the most important pieces of the pie. Mission failed successfully

Get Mercked idiot
is there any proof of it being the smallest length? i see that thrown around a lot but no proof for it. why wouldn’t there be smaller lengths?
It’s the smallest length that our current understanding of the universe will allow. Any distance smaller is immeasurable to us. To measure small things you need to be able to hit them with a photon and get a signal back; and the smaller you want to measure the higher energy that photon has to be. The planck length is the distance where the photon you are using to measure has so much energy comparable to the size that the energy density instantly creates a black hole, that swallows whatever you are trying to observe. Thus it is impossible for us to measure smaller than that distance. Things might absolutely exist at scales smaller than that, but the universe seems to lock them away from us.

seems correct, as far as i can tell.

Explains how both of their surnames entered the lexicon
Should have called it the Marie length to have it for herself
