Mina (Biblical Greek)
The mina is an ancient unit of weight used in biblical Greek contexts, typically equivalent to about 50 shekels or roughly 0.6 kilograms.
History/Origin
The mina was used in the ancient Near East, including Greece and the Levant, dating back to the early Iron Age. It was a standard measure for trade and commerce in biblical times and was later adopted in various forms by different cultures.
Current Use
Today, the mina is primarily used in historical and biblical studies to understand ancient texts and measurements. It is not used as a modern unit of measurement but is included in historical weight and mass converters for educational purposes.
Planck Mass
The Planck mass (m_P) is a fundamental physical constant representing a mass scale derived from natural units, approximately 2.176 Γ 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.
