time question

[hoola]

is there a plank-time corrected "scientific second", with a multiple of the plank-time minimum as standard?

[StringJunky]

 

It is the time required for light to travel, in a vacuum, a distance of 1 Planck length, approximately 5.39 × 10-44 s.[1].....

 

....there is no reason to believe that exactly one unit of Planck time has any special physical significance. Rather, the Planck time represents a rough time scale at which quantum gravitational effects are likely to become important.[clarification needed] The nature of those effects, and the exact time scale at which they would occur, would need to be derived from an actual theory of quantum gravity. However, the reciprocal of the Planck time can be interpreted as an upper bound on the frequency of a wave. This follows from the interpretation of the Planck length as a minimal length, and hence a lower bound on the wavelength. All scientific experiments and human experiences occur over time scales that are dozens of orders of magnitude longer than the Planck time,[3] making any events happening at the Planck scale hard to detect. As of November 2016, the smallest time interval uncertainty in direct measurements is on the order of 850 zeptoseconds (850 × 10−21 seconds)[4]

If you're asking for a standard time period derived from the planc time, the planc time is sort of in a way derived from the second.

Good point. It's given in seconds, so it's based on the SI unit, which is the "scientific second". Or just the second, to most people.

Planck length = Speed of Light multiplied by Planck Time

 

Reverse equation:

Planck Time = Planck Length divided by Speed Of Light.

 

Where Speed of Light is c=299792458 m/s

 

Planck Length = 1.61622837*10^-35 meters

1.61622837*10^-35 m / 299792458 m/s = 5.39115753872634*10^-44 s

There is a lot of spurious detail there. We only know those figures to 3 or 4 decimal places when you convert to Systeme International - mainly due to the uncertainty in the gravitational constant which we could even be wrong about the third decimal place in SI units
