Planck power

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Planck energy divided by the Planck time is the Planck power PP, equal to about 3.62831 × 1052 W. This is an extremely large unit; even gamma-ray bursts, the most luminous phenomena known, have output on the order of 1 × 1045 W, less than one ten-millionth of the Planck power. The Planck power is the absolute upper limit to power of anything in the Universe, "All objects, phenomena and explosions."[1]

In terms of the fundamental constants of physics, it is given by

P_{{\text{P}}}={\frac {c^{5}}{G}}.
