How Does Changing Gravity and Speed of Light Affect the Planck Scale?

Click For Summary
SUMMARY

The discussion centers on the effects of varying gravity and the speed of light on the Planck scale, specifically the Planck length. It is established that an increase in gravitational strength (G) affects the Planck length, although the specific relationship requires further exploration. Participants inquire about Java-based tools that allow users to manipulate these constants and observe changes in the Planck scale. The conversation emphasizes the need for a deeper understanding of the underlying formulas governing these physical constants.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of Planck scale concepts, including Planck length and Planck constant.
  • Familiarity with gravitational theory and its mathematical implications.
  • Basic knowledge of the speed of light (c) and its role in physics.
  • Proficiency in Java programming for developing or using simulation tools.
NEXT STEPS
  • Research the mathematical relationship between gravitational strength and Planck length.
  • Explore existing Java simulations that model changes in gravity and speed of light.
  • Study the implications of varying physical constants on quantum mechanics.
  • Learn about the formulas governing the Planck scale and their derivations.
USEFUL FOR

Physicists, computer scientists, and educators interested in quantum mechanics and gravitational theory, as well as anyone developing simulations related to fundamental physics concepts.

If gravity becomes stronger. would the Planck length becomes longer or bigger? Would speed of light c also have the same effect of changing the Planck length size?

Would anyone know any java website that can make you adjust the strength of gravity and c and see how big or small the Planck scale can become?

Did you check the formula for the Planck length? If G increases, does it increase or decrease?
Same for the speed of light.

There are no limits.
