Planck Length 1.616×10⁻³⁵ meters: smallest length scale
Planck Length 1.616×10⁻³⁵ meters is identified as the smallest length scale in physics. It marks where classical gravity and space-time cease to be valid and quantum effects dominate, and it is beyond current technology to measure.
Key points
Value: 1.616×10⁻³⁵ meters
Claim: beyond current technology to measure

Buffon's needle probability 2ℓ/(πd) formula announced
Buffon's needle probability 2ℓ/(πd) gives the chance a dropped needle crosses a line. The result was posed by the Comte de Buffon in 1777 and allows π to be estimated by chance.
Key points
Probability that a needle crosses a line = 2ℓ/(πd)
Proposed by the Comte de Buffon in 1777, enables π estimation by random drops
