Hello everyone.

After reading most of the existing topics on the Planck length, I still haven't found what the Planck length really is. Some references say nothing can possibly be smaller than the Planck length, whereas others say it's just a threshold below which "special" things happen.

So... can things be smaller than the Planck length, or not? Most importantly, can a singularity be smaller than the Planck length?

Thanks in advance.
