AI overview
The Planck length is the smallest meaningful unit of distance in physics, calculated from fundamental constants to be about 1.6 × 10⁻³⁵ meters—far smaller than anything we can currently observe or measure. It matters because it represents a theoretical limit where our current understanding of physics breaks down and quantum effects of gravity become dominant, making it important for developing theories that unite quantum mechanics with general relativity.
