Why is the Planck length important in physics?

The Planck length defines the fundamental quantum scale at which classical concepts of space break down, important in quantum gravity and high-energy physics.

What does one picometer represent?

A picometer is an SI length unit equal to 10⁻¹² meters, used for extremely small distances such as atomic and molecular bond lengths.

Can we measure Planck length directly?

Currently, direct measurement is not possible due to its incredibly small size; the conversion is theoretical and comparative.
