As a follow up to What are the structures that exist at roughly the scale of the Planck length?, what areas of research question the idea of a Planck length (or Planck scale)? Or if there are no areas of research, what specific qualities make it questionable?
Answer
The Planck Length is equal to 1.616199×10−35m which is roughly 100 billion billionth of the diameter of a proton. It is a base unit defined in terms of the five physical constants G,ℏ,c,(4πε0)−1 and κB.
No areas of current research (that I know of) question the idea of the Planck length or indeed any of the underlying physical constants listed above;
