Point

A point is a unit of length used mainly in typography to measure font size, line spacing, and other elements of printed text. It is defined as 1/72 of an inch, which is approximately 0.3528 millimeters.

Key facts:

• 
  

  1 point = 1/72 inch ≈ 0.3528 mm

  
  
• 
  

  12 points = 1 pica

  
  
• 
  

  Used universally in typesetting, desktop publishing, and graphic design

  
  
• 
  

  Measures font sizes, leading (line spacing), and other typographic details

  
  

The point system helps designers and printers maintain precise and consistent text layouts across various media.

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.
