It's not a constant, any more than the meter or the foot. It's just part of a unit system that happens to be convenient for carrying out certain calculations.

- FollowingTheDao 3y agoI have questions about your understanding. Or maybe it is a problem with my communication. There is a planck constant. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Planck_constant https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Planck_constant
- consilient 3y agoPlanck's constant is not the Planck length.
- FollowingTheDao 3y agoThe Planck length ℓ P is defined as: ℓ P = ℏ G c 3 ≈ 1.616 255 ( 18 ) × 10 − 35 m , where is the speed of light, G is the gravitational constant, and ħ is the reduced Planck constant. I know they’re not the same. But they obviously depend on each other, no?
- consilient 3y ago> But they obviously depend on each other, no? Sure, but so does twice the Planck length. Also half the Planck length. Also 86.173491 times the Planck length. And so on.
- eigenket 3y agoThe Planck length and Planck's constans are both named after Max Planck. That doesn't mean they're the same thing. The Max Planck Institutes are also named after Planck, but they are neither lengths nor constants.
