The Planck time is about 5e-44 seconds, and the cosmologial constant is ~ 2e-123 in Planck units. <br /><br />(In Planck units, hbar, c, G and k are all set equal to one. Theorists use it because it makes their equations look much prettier.... Any result can be translated back into regular units by multiplying by the appropriate powers of hbar, c, G and k. (k is Boltzmann's constant.)) <br /><br />David Appellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03318269033139447591noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28837843.post-81960330122168220242016-01-24T08:22:11.700-08:002016-01-24T08:22:11.700-08:00Very nice post, David.
