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 Picoseconds
A picosecond (ps) = 10⁻¹² s; light travels 0.3 mm. Water molecules reorient via H-bond dynamics in ~1-3 ps, explaining microwave absorption. THz spectroscopy probes ps-scale dynamics in molecular systems. Sub-5 nm CMOS gate delays are a few ps; GaAs HEMTs reach ~0.1 ps. Muon mean lifetime = 2,197 ps. OTDR uses ps pulses for millimetre-resolution fibre-fault location. 1 ps = 10⁻¹² s.
