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.
Petameter
A petameter is a unit of length in the metric system equal to 10^15 meters.
History/Origin
The prefix "peta-" for 10^15 was adopted by the CGPM (General Conference on Weights and Measures) in 1975.
Current Use
The petameter is used for measuring distances on a galactic scale, such as the size of the Milky Way galaxy.
