Planck scale

In physics, the Planck length, denoted ℓP, is a unit of length that is the distance light travels in one unit of Planck time. It is equal to 1.616255(18)×10−35 m. It is a base unit in the system of Planck units, developed by physicist Max Planck. The Planck length can be defined from three fundamental physical constants: the speed of light in a vacuum, the Planck constant, and the gravitational constant.The equation for the invariant interval d S {displaystyle dS} in the Schwarzschild solution has the form In physics, the Planck length, denoted ℓP, is a unit of length that is the distance light travels in one unit of Planck time.
