    I’m having a Planck IQ moment trying to decypher the four lines of distilled aneurysm with which you just presented me

    Need an explanation? The smallest possible black hole is called a Planck particle. It should have a mass of a Planck mass, a size of an Planck length, should evaporate in a Planck time, releasing a Planck energy.

      Ooookay. I feel like I’ve heard Planck length/time used in other (perhaps wrong) contexts. So the mass and energy seemed wildly large by comparison.

      By the way, the evaporation of a Planck particule should generate a power of P = Planck energy / Planck time = 3.629 × 10^52 W --> 36.29 million million million million million million million Gigawatts. More than enough to power a time machine.

    Plank length: usually 10ft for 2x4s. Though, you can get them cut to length.

      You can what? You mean I can put down this bread knife and just have my house built for me? I think I’ll keep my sense of pride and accomplishment, sucker…

      10^9 Joules is roughly the chemical energy of a full tank of gasoline. The mass-energy of the car (or even just gas itself) would be many, many orders of magnitude higher.
