Planck temperature scale

The Planck temperature scale is an absolute temperature scale using natural units. On this scale, 0 is absolute zero, and 1 is the Planck temperature. Quantum Theory states that the Planck temperature is the hottest possible temperature.

The symbol used for this scale is TP.[1] The freezing/melting point of water on this scale would be written 1.928 × 10−30TP.

Expressing the Planck temperature scale in more convenient units

A way of expressing temperatures in more familiar sized units is to use centimicroyocto plank temperatures (cµyTP). The freezing point of water is 1.928 × 10−30TP. By simply moving the decimal point 32 places to the right, you can convert it to 192.8 cµyTP. These units are somewhat comparable to that of that of the Kelvin scale. When using cµyTP, 0 is absolute zero, and 1 × 1032 is the Planck temperature. 1 × 1032 cµyTP is a perfect base ten number as opposed to 1.417 × 1032 K, 1.417 × 1032 °C, or 2.550 × 1032 °F. Each centimicroyocto plank temperature is equal to one 100 nonillionth of the Planck temperature.
