Units explained
Planck Mass
The Planck mass equals about 2.18E-8 kg, formed from the constants h-bar, c, and G.
Introduced by Max Planck in 1899 as part of a system of natural units.
Theoretical physics and quantum-gravity research.
Defined by Planck in 1899 from fundamental constants.
Dram (apothecary/troy)
The apothecary (troy) dram equals one-eighth of a troy ounce, about 3.888 grams.
From the apothecaries' system rooted in the Greek 'drachma'.
Historical pharmacy and medicine compounding.
Part of the apothecaries' system of weights used through the 19th century.
