|
The Planck temperature, named after German physicist Max Planck, is the natural unit of temperature, denoted by TP.
<math>T_P = \frac{m_P c^2}{k} = \sqrt{\frac{\hbar c^5}{G k^2}} =<math> 1.41679 × 1032 K
where:
mP is the Planck mass
c is the speed of light in a vacuum
<math>\hbar<math> is Dirac's constant
k is the Boltzmann constant
