Your Daily Equation | Episode 15: The Planck Length - Why String Theory is Hard to Test

Episode 15 #YourDailyEquation: The Planck scale is often described as the arena in which both quantum mechanical and gravitational effects come into play. The Planck length is tiny (compared to the sizes of everyday things) and the Planck mass is huge (compared to the mass/energy of elementary particles). In this episode of Your Daily Equation, join Brian to understand where the Planck values come from.

We’d love to see & hear your questions for future Q&As with Brian Greene. Send us a video (less than 20 seconds please!) of yourself asking your question to: questions@worldsciencefestival.com

Monday - Friday at 3pm EDT, Brian will offer brief and breezy discussions of pivotal equations. Even if your math is a bit rusty, tune in for accessible and exciting stories of nature and numbers that will allow you to see the universe in a new way.
