Thanks Peter - as I understand it, the Planck constant is well established, and Planck length, Planck time, etc are derived directly from the Planck constant. Is there any reason to question the validity of the equations that lead to these Planck units?

Since Planck length is a distance unit of space-time which cannot be further subdivided, would that not imply that an electron, or singularity, or any other point particle cannot actually be a “point”, but must rather be a spherical volume with a Planck length diameter? i realize this may well...

Thank you, gentlemen - that has been helpful.

Thank you for responding. I just wonder why speed is related to mass/energy.

A stupid layperson question- while it is clear that any given quantity of mass comprises an enormous quantity of energy, I have wondered how could it be that the speed of light is involved in that relationship, rather than some very large, but random constant. It just seems so odd to me that c...
