Planck Base Units: At some point after the base units were first calculated, some mathematician refined those calculations and Planck Length became 1.616255×10-35 meters and Planck Time became 5.391247×10-44 seconds. Dividing the two numbers renders 299,792.4228 kilometers per second. That number, of course, is worthy of note. Nobody has claimed it, so we’ll lift it up as an enigma and credit Max Planck for his inspiration.
