Planck Time
Planck time is the theoretical minimum meaningful unit of time, approximately 5.39 × 10^-44 seconds, representing the time it takes for light to travel one Planck length in a vacuum.
History/Origin
Introduced by physicist Max Planck in 1899 as part of his system of natural units, it arises from fundamental constants and marks the scale at which classical ideas about gravity and space-time cease to be valid, requiring a quantum theory of gravity.
Current Use
Primarily used in theoretical physics and cosmology to describe phenomena at the Planck scale, and as a fundamental unit in models of quantum gravity; it is not used in everyday measurements.
Femtosecond
A femtosecond (fs) is a unit of time equal to 10^-15 seconds, or one quadrillionth of a second.
History/Origin
The femtosecond was introduced in the 20th century with advancements in ultrafast laser technology, enabling measurement and manipulation of phenomena occurring on extremely short timescales.
Current Use
Femtoseconds are used in fields such as physics, chemistry, and biology to study ultrafast processes like chemical reactions, electron dynamics, and laser pulse durations.
