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