Definition
The Planck temperature is defined as:
= 1.416833(85) × 1032 K / - where:
- mP is the Planck mass,
- c is speed of light in a vacuum,
- is the reduced Planck constant defined as
- k is the Boltzmann constant,
- G is the gravitational constant.
The two digits between the parentheses are used to denote the standard error of the last two digits of the estimated value.

—Nadine Gordimer (b. 1923)

What notions do they attach to love! what to religion! One would not willingly pronounce these words in their hearing, and give them the occasion to profane them.”
