Units/unit/laws of nature/constants/natural constants/quantum mechanics/Relativity Theory/Genz: the basic units for length, mass and time appear in the natural laws of quantum mechanics and relativity theory only covertly as natural constants: c, gravitational constant G, Planck's constant h.
>Natural constants.
Together they can be converted into a length, a mass and a time and provide when not using numerical factors like 2 or 10²³ the Planck units above.
Experiment/Genz: there are no experiments that come close to Planck's time or length, but close to Planck's mass, which is strangely large. It corresponds approximately to a dust particle.
Question: why are the elementary particles so much smaller than the Planck mass?
Solution: a solution is the "ongoing coupling" of quarks and gluons in the standard model. From the small value of the planck length, the coupling increases extremely slowly and only reaches the value of Planck's length that is greater with the factor 10²⁰ that allows the existence of a bound state of quarks and gluons - the proton.
Proton/Genz: for the proton - and thus for all strong interactions - the relevant length scale is not the Planck scale, but the 10²⁰-times length scale of quantum electrochromodynamics (QCD).

Planck mass/intuitive/Genz: its alleged giganticness damages the notion that all physical quantities should be discrete.
Density/Genz: "worse still": if we want to place the Planck mass in a Planck length we get the 10⁹³-times density of water.
