Key Terminology
-
Planck length
-
A fundamental length scale derived from fundamental constants, representing the scale where quantum gravity effects are significant.
-
Attometer (am)
-
An SI unit of length equal to one quintillionth of a meter (10^-18 m), used for extremely small distances in high-energy physics.
