This is the basic argument. The Compton wavelength or equivalently the de
Broglie wavelength with v = c is equal to the Schwarzschild radius. That is
how to derive the Planck length. The argument that nothing smaller exists
just means the Heisenberg uncertainty principle can't isolate some

There is a related concept, the Planck Mass that also involves the 3 most
fundamental constants in nature, the speed of light the Planck constant and
the Gravitational constant. If you take the Planck energy
(c^5*h/2*PI*G)^1/2 and confine it in a box one Planck length
(G*h/2*PI*c^3)^1/2 on a side
To measure small things you need comparably short wavelengths. If you
make a photon with a wavelength so short it can measure the Planck
length it will have so much mass-energy that it will fold spacetime
around it and become a black hole...so you won't be able to use it to
measure any
What is the argument for the claim that we cannot, in principle, measure
any length smaller than Planck length? TIA, AG
