Showing papers on "Planck force published in 1986"
TL;DR: The dual string theories of everything, being purely geometrical, contain only two fundamental constants: c, for relativistic invariance, and a length λ, for quantization as discussed by the authors.
Abstract: Dual string theories of everything, being purely geometrical, contain only two fundamental constants: c, for relativistic invariance, and a length λ, for quantization. Planck's and Newton's constants appear only through Planck's length, a "calculable" fraction of λ. Only the existence of a light sector breaks a "reciprocity" principle and unification at λ, which is also the theory's cut-off.

TL;DR: In this paper, it was observed that light falling on a piece of metal could cause electrons to be ejected from the surface of the metal, and the classical theory of light as an electromagnetic wave, together with early models of atomic structure let physicists make some simple predictions of what should happen in experiments with this photoelectric effect.
Abstract: In the nineteenth century, it was observed that light falling on a piece of metal could cause electrons to be ejected from the surface of the metal. The classical theory of light as an electromagnetic wave, together with early models of atomic structure let physicists make some simple predictions of what should happen in experiments with this “photoelectric effect.” Almost all of these predictions failed miserably.
