About these units
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.
Fortnight (fortnight)
A fortnight is 14 days, a unit deeply rooted in English tradition. Its name derives from "fourteen nights," reflecting a time when day-to-day life was measured in nights rather than hours or minutes. Fortnights appear in literature, wage schedules, agricultural cycles, and even modern payroll systems in some countries. Though not part of the SI system, the fortnight persists because it occupies a natural middle ground: longer than a week, shorter than a month, yet easily divisible and memorable.
