Planck time is the fundamental time scale derived from constants like the gravitational constant and speed of light. It represents the scale at which quantum gravitational effects dominate.

Why convert from Planck time to femtosecond?

Converting to femtoseconds helps express the fundamental quantum gravitational time scale in units that are more commonly used in experimental physics and chemistry.

Can this conversion be used for direct measurement?

No, due to the extremely small nature of Planck time, this conversion serves theoretical understanding and comparison rather than practical measurement.
