Question
What is Planck length? What is Planck time?
Answer
The Planck length is the scale at which classical ideas about gravity and space-time cease to be valid, and quantum effects dominate. This is the ‘quantum of length’, the smallest measurement of length with any meaning.
And roughly equal to 1.6 x 10-35 m or about 10-20 times the size of a proton.
The Planck time is the time it would take a photon travelling at the speed of light to across a distance equal to the Planck length. This is the ‘quantum of time’, the smallest measurement of time that has any meaning, and is equal to 10-43 seconds. No smaller division of time has any meaning. With in the framework of the laws of physics as we understand them today, we can say only that the universe came into existence when it already had an age of 10-43 seconds.
Now look what you've done RandyWayne! You're wrong! WRONG! You hear me! Wrong! Planck length is how long the board was on the seesaw, seasaw, however you spelled it!
Planck time was how long my brother would let me stay on it! Now you got that! All that other gibberish you just made up!

I know I know... all we really need to measure this Universe is "days", "nights", "cocks crows", and seasons. After all a 6000 year old Universe doesn't need a whole a lotta of accuracy.

Naw... we need more than that now for accuracy. We gotta learn to count to a trillion now! If you know what I mean!
Thanks for your input. You do impress me if you know what you're talking about. I can't argue with you... it's way above my learnin'.

Yea after all the Bible is simply a collection of myths and fairy tales! We know science has proved that no man could raise from the dead after three days. Science proves no one could live for thousands of years.
Not to mention the rest of the fables scripture presents like the parting of the Red Sea, Lepers instantly healed, food being multiplied, the rain being controlled a mans prayers, ect...
Are we not much better off in our new age where science and mans reason are king?

Someone might think your serious and lose faith if ya keep that up

. . .
That's 10 to the minus thirty-fifth and 10 to the minus twentieth, btw. In other words, the size of a proton is 10 to the twentieth Planck lengths. It's huge. (I don't know how to do superscripts in a post, either.)
