Planck temperature

The planck temperature Tp is the highest imaginable temperature

in degrees kelvin.

 


Explanation

For the temperature as it was 5 × 1044 seconds after the Big Bang, the formula is

where

   Tp Planck temperature
   mp Planck mass
    c Speed of light
   kB Boltzmann constant

 


Alternative 1

The formula for the highest possible temperature is

where

   Tp Planck temperature
    ℏ Reduced Planck constant
    c Speed of light
   G Gravitational constant
   kB Boltzmann constant

 


History

The name pays tribute to the German physicist Max Planck (1858 - 1947).
