Inch


An inch is a unit of length used primarily in the imperial and U.S. customary systems. It is commonly used in countries like the United States, Canada, and the UK for measuring shorter lengths. One inch equals 2.54 centimeters. There are 12 inches in a foot. Inches are often used to measure things like screen sizes, paper dimensions, or body measurements. For example, a standard smartphone screen might be about 6 inches. The symbol for inch is "in" or a double quote mark (). Rulers, measuring tapes, and toolkits often include inches for easy reference. Although the metric system is more widely used globally, inches remain common in certain industries and countries for specific applications.


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.
