Max length would have been hella confusing.
The Planck length is the shortest measurable length, not the shortest possible length. We have no idea how we’d even go about measuring anything smaller, because we don’t understand physics smaller than that. There could be stuff that’s smaller, like even more elementary particles that build everything and determine the rules of the physics and particles that we do understand. Or maybe not. Maybe that’s the smallest anything can be and there isn’t further sub-Planck physics, or maybe it’s just turtles all the way down.
it’s also the measurement for the shortest possible time span
but also the hottest possible temperature.
Min-Max Planck
aka Planckmaxing
so, carpentry
What do you get when you put a plankmaxxer on a plank?
Bored.
you nailed that one

Mad Max Plank
The Planck units are a choice of natural units relevant to cosmology. They aren’t the smallest or largest of anything. The Planck mass is roughly the same as that of a fruit fly.
In our current established theoretical framework, there is no reason to presume that either time or space are discrete, nor is there experimental evidence for it.
Planck distance is a fundamental unit, otherwise we get the ultraviolet catastrophe
The Planck constant [Js] was introduced to find a way around the UV catastrophe. The Planck length [m] is defined as \sqrt{\frac{\hbar G}{c^3}}, where G is the gravitational constant and c the speed of light in vacuum.
Dude set out to show it was all bullshit and figured out one of the most important pieces of the pie. Mission failed successfully
Kind of like Schrödinger who wanted to ridicule quantum mechanics interpretations with his cat in a box. And now it’s a famous analogy.
They have also experimentally tested an equivalent experiment with bacteria. They survived a trip through the double slit experiment.
There doesn’t seem to be an issue with it, other than it’s difficult and impractical.

Should have called it the Marie length to have it for herself
