How does t=1 second relate to the Planck length?

AI Thread Summary
The discussion centers on the relationship between time (t=1 second) and the Planck length in the context of gravitational attraction between an electron and Earth. An individual calculated that the Earth's center of mass moves towards an electron by 7.48 x 10^-54 meters, which is significantly smaller than the Planck length. This raises questions about the significance of measurements below the Planck length, which is often described as the smallest meaningful unit of length. The conversation also touches on the definition of "quantum of length" and clarifies that the smallest meaningful measurement does not equate to being a quantum. The implications of these calculations challenge conventional understandings of physics at quantum scales.

I have calculated that an electron attracts the Earth according to F=GmM/r^2 formula just as well the Earth attracts it with a minuscule value and that yields to the acceleration of Earth towards the electron and again according to x=1/2 a t^2 formula Earth's CM move to an electron 7,48.10^-54 meters. But that is much smaller than Planck length.
I thought anything smaller than Planck length is meaningless.
"This is the ‘quantum of length’, the smallest measurement of length with any meaning."

How come?

What did you take 't' as?

also... smallest measurement of length with any meaning does not mean 'quantum of length'.
