Hand

A hand is a traditional unit of length primarily used to measure the height of horses. It is equal to 4 inches or 10.16 centimeters.

The origin of the hand as a measurement comes from using the width of a human hand, and it has been standardized at 4 inches for consistency in horse measurement. Horse height is expressed in "hands," measured from the ground to the highest point of the withers (the ridge between the shoulder blades).

Key points:

1 hand = 4 inches
1 hand = 10.16 centimeters
Used mainly for measuring horse height
Horse height is often given in hands and inches, e.g., 15.2 hands means 15 hands plus 2 inches

The hand remains the standard unit for horse height in many English-speaking countries.

Planck Length

The Planck length is the smallest meaningful unit of length in physics, representing a fundamental scale at which classical ideas about gravity and space-time break down and quantum effects dominate.

It is defined as approximately 1.616 × 10⁻³⁵ meters.
The Planck length is derived from fundamental constants: the speed of light, Planck’s constant, and the gravitational constant.
It sets a theoretical limit below which the very concepts of space and distance may lose conventional meaning.
Used mainly in theories of quantum gravity and string theory.

Key facts:

1 Planck length ≈ 1.616 × 10⁻³⁵ m
Smallest scale in quantum physics and cosmology
Represents a scale where quantum effects of gravity become significant

The Planck length is crucial for understanding the fabric of the universe at its most fundamental level.
