About Gregorian Years
The Gregorian year = exactly 365.2425 days = 31,556,952 s (mean over the 400-year cycle with 97 leap years). The Julian calendar (45 BCE) used 365.25 days; Gregorian reform (1582) dropped 10 days and amended the centennial rule. Britain adopted it in 1752; Greece in 1923. Carbon-14 dates are reported in 'years BP' (before 1950 CE). 1 yr = 365.2425 d = 8,765.82 h = 31,556,952 s.
About Planck Time
The Planck time (t_P) = √(ℏG/c⁵) ≈ 5.391 × 10⁻⁴⁴ s — the time for light to travel one Planck length (~1.616 × 10⁻³⁵ m). Below this scale, general relativity and quantum mechanics both break down; a theory of quantum gravity is needed. No physical process or instrument approaches this timescale — it is a theoretical lower bound. Introduced by Max Planck in 1899. 1 t_P ≈ 5.391 × 10⁻⁴⁴ s.
