Gamma
Gamma is a unit of mass used in the context of the 'Weight and Mass' converter, typically representing a gram or a related measure.
History/Origin
The term 'gamma' originates from the Greek letter gamma, historically used in various scientific contexts to denote small quantities of mass or radiation. Its use as a unit of mass has been more common in older or specialized scientific literature.
Current Use
Today, 'gamma' is rarely used as a standard unit of mass; instead, grams are the standard. However, 'gamma' may still appear in specific scientific fields or historical references related to mass measurement.
Planck Mass
The Planck mass (m_P) is a fundamental physical constant representing a mass scale derived from natural units, approximately 2.176 × 10^-8 kilograms.
History/Origin
Introduced by Max Planck in 1899 as part of his system of natural units, the Planck mass emerged from combining fundamental constants to define a universal mass scale in theoretical physics.
Current Use
The Planck mass is primarily used in theoretical physics, especially in quantum gravity and high-energy physics, to express natural units and scale phenomena near the Planck scale.
