What is "simple english" below languages? Never seen this before.

It's been around for nearly 15 years. It's geared towards younger folks, folks with learning disabilities that might make it hard for them to read and people who are learning English as a second language.

It is an intentionally simplified version of English. Although, in this case, the meaning of the article seems to have been affected by the simplification. The English version makes it clear that this is a theoretical concept, whereas the Simple English version makes it sound like something concrete/absolute.

Planks Constant really changed my understanding of what the universe is made of.

Our physics and understanding of matter seems to be relevant under very specific conditions.

The moment we can make technology that can impact the smallest of sizes(if this is even possible), we might get an answer for what the universe is. Or maybe it would turn out to be "42" and it still wouldnt make sense.

Question: is the analogy of thermal energy as particles flying around and bouncing into each other just analogy? At what temperature would the particles fly at the speed of light?

> Above about 10^32K, particle energies become so large that gravitational forces between them would become as strong as other fundamental forces according to current theories.

I see, the gravitation would become a problem even before the speed.
