About these units
Month (month)
A month traditionally reflects the lunar cycle, which lasts about 29.53 days (a synodic month). Ancient cultures used lunar months to track seasons, religious festivals, and agricultural cycles. In modern civil calendars, however, months are fixed lengths of 28–31 days to maintain alignment with the solar year. This creates a hybrid system: culturally grounded in the Moon, yet functionally tied to Earth's orbit around the Sun. Months remain one of the most intuitive time units for planning—budget cycles, billing periods, academic schedules, subscription systems, and medical dosing regimens all rely heavily on monthly intervals.
Planck Time (tₚ)
Planck time is the smallest meaningful unit of time in known physics, defined as the time it takes light to travel one Planck length. It equals approximately 5.39 × 10⁻⁴⁴ seconds. Below the Planck time, current theories of spacetime—General Relativity and Quantum Mechanics—break down, and we enter a regime where quantum gravity dominates. Planck time defines the theoretical boundary of the earliest moments of the universe, immediately after the Big Bang, before classical spacetime emerged. It is not a unit we can measure directly; rather, it represents a fundamental limit set by nature's constants, including the speed of light, the gravitational constant, and Planck's constant. The Planck time is the frontier where physics transitions from the known into the speculative—where time itself may become granular, discontinuous, or fundamentally different from the human conception.
