In particle physics, this unit is sometimes called a fermi, also with abbreviation "fm". To help compare different orders of magnitude , this section lists lengths between 10 −15 meters and 10 −14 meters (1 femtometer and 10 fm).
In particle physics and physical cosmology, the Planck scale is an energy scale around 1.22 × 10 28 eV (the Planck energy, corresponding to the energy equivalent of the Planck mass, 2.176 45 × 10 −8 kg) at which quantum effects of gravity become significant.
The field equations of condensed matter physics are remarkably similar to those of high energy particle physics. As a result, much of the theory of particle physics applies to condensed matter physics as well; in particular, there are a selection of field excitations, called quasi-particles, that can be created and explored. These include:

The constants listed here are known values of physical constants expressed in SI units; that is, physical quantities that are generally believed to be universal in nature and thus are independent of the unit system in which they are measured. Many of these are redundant, in the sense that they obey a known relationship with other physical ...
[6] [7] [8] In the Standard Model of particle physics, photons and other elementary particles are described as a necessary consequence of physical laws having a certain symmetry at every point in spacetime. The intrinsic properties of particles, such as charge, mass, and spin, are determined by gauge symmetry.
