Planck Length
The Planck length is the smallest possible unit of length in the universe, approximately 1.6 x 10⁻³⁵ meters.
History/Origin
The Planck length is derived from fundamental physical constants and is named after the physicist Max Planck. It is a fundamental unit in the system of Planck units.
Current Use
The Planck length is a theoretical concept used in quantum gravity and cosmology to describe phenomena at the smallest scales of the universe.
Chain
A chain is a unit of length equal to 66 feet, or 22 yards.
History/Origin
The chain was developed by English surveyor Edmund Gunter in the early 17th century. It was designed to be a convenient length for surveying land.
Current Use
The chain is still used in some surveying applications and is the length of a cricket pitch.
