Planck units

(a set of units based on Planck constant and other fundamental constants)

Planck units are a set of physical units based upon Planck constant and other fundamental constants, one type of natural units. They have the advantage in that they eliminate the physical constants in some physics equations, simplifying the equations and reducing the required math in using the equations. Planck units are often discussed regarding physical limits inherent in modern physics: the Planck units for two quantities, Planck length and Planck time, do reflect minimal possible amounts according to current physical laws. However, the motivation for Planck units is not these minimums, and other Planck are within or greater than the range of the typical units we use everyday.

tP ≡ √(ℏG/c5)
lP ≡ √(ℏG/c3)
mP ≡ √(ℏc/G)
EP ≡ mPc2
TP ≡ EP/KB
