Planck time

English Noun tP en physics A natural unit of time, equivalent to the time it takes light to traverse one Planck length; it is the duration of time at which quantum gravity effects are expected to become significant. en October 9, 2023 Dennis Overbye The Science Nobel Winners Were Short and Fast https://www.nytimes.com/2023/10/08/science/science-nobel-prize.html w:The New York Times As Dr. Feynman noted, there are still shorter scales of time and distance to go before we reach the ultimate limits imposed by quantum physics: the Planck length, 10^-33 of a centimeter, and the Planck time, 10^-43 of a second. Both are named for the German physicist Max Planck, who made the breakthrough that led to quantum mechanics. https://web.archive.org/web/20231012001321/https://www.nytimes.com/2023/10/08/science/science-nobel-prize.html Translations unit of time, believed to be the scale at which quantum gravity effects become significant Dutch: nl French: fr temps de Planck m German: de Hungarian: hu Japanese: ja プランク時間 puranku jikan Korean: ko 플랑크 시간 Polish: pl czas Plancka m Swedish: sv See also en Planck epoch en Planck length en Planck unit en eponyms
