Gerah (Biblical Hebrew)
The gerah is a biblical Hebrew unit of weight, traditionally used for measuring small quantities such as precious metals and spices.
History/Origin
Originating in ancient Israel, the gerah was used during biblical times as a standard weight unit, often referenced in religious texts and transactions. It is believed to be approximately 0.65 grams.
Current Use
Today, the gerah is primarily of historical and biblical interest, with limited modern application. It is used in scholarly contexts and for understanding ancient measurements and texts.
Planck Mass
The Planck mass (m_P) is a fundamental physical constant representing a mass scale derived from natural units, approximately 2.176 × 10^-8 kilograms.
History/Origin
Introduced by Max Planck in 1899 as part of his system of natural units, the Planck mass emerged from combining fundamental constants to define a universal mass scale in theoretical physics.
Current Use
The Planck mass is primarily used in theoretical physics, especially in quantum gravity and high-energy physics, to express natural units and scale phenomena near the Planck scale.
