Centimeter
A centimeter is a unit of length in the metric system, equal to one-hundredth of a meter.
History/Origin
The prefix "centi-" comes from the Latin word "centum," meaning hundred. The centimeter was part of the original metric system established in France in 1795.
Current Use
The centimeter is a very common unit of measurement for everyday objects and is used in many fields, including science, engineering, and fashion.
Planck Length
The Planck length is the smallest possible unit of length in the universe, approximately 1.6 x 10⁻³⁵ meters.
History/Origin
The Planck length is derived from fundamental physical constants and is named after the physicist Max Planck. It is a fundamental unit in the system of Planck units.
Current Use
The Planck length is a theoretical concept used in quantum gravity and cosmology to describe phenomena at the smallest scales of the universe.
