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.
About Millennia
A millennium (1 ka) = 1,000 Gregorian years ≈ 3.156 × 10¹⁰ s. Standard unit in archaeology and Quaternary geology: Neolithic transition ~10-12 ka BP; Last Glacial Maximum ~21 ka BP; Homo sapiens leaving Africa ~60-70 ka BP. Milankovitch cycles include the 41 ka obliquity and ~100 ka eccentricity cycle. EPICA Antarctic ice core spans ~800 ka. Precession completes ~26 ka. 1 ka = 1,000 yr.
