Planck

Wolfgang works for the Max Planck Society for the Advancement of Science.

Researchers from the GRAVITY consortium led by the Max Planck Institute for Extraterrestrial Physics realized that they had a "perfect laboratory" to test Einstein's theory with the Sagittarius A* black hole in the center of the Milky Way.

The Planck scale is incomprehensible in its minuteness.

Researchers at Germany’s Max Planck Institute of Colloids and Interfaces, in Potsdam, are collaborating with a U.S. company, ArtemiLife, to test an extract from the plant Artemisia annua to determine its effectiveness in speeding recovery from the virus.

The International Bureau of Weights and Measures says the new kilogram standard, for example, it will be based on three basic quantum constants — the Planck constant, the speed of light, and the natural microwave radiation of the cesium atom.

No length shorter than the Planck length of 10⁻³³ cm and no amount of time shorter than the Planck time of 10⁻⁴³ s is physically relevant.

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.
