Chapter 44, Problem 34P
(II) The scale factor or the universe (average distance between galaxies) at any given lime is believed to have been inversely proportional 10 the absolute temperature. Estimate the size of the universe, compared to today, at (a) t = 106 yr, (b) t = 1 s, (c) t = 10−6 s, and (d) t = 10−35 s.

[10] Using scientific notation, numerically evaluate the expression below. Do this problem without using a calculator.
(8 x 10^6) (2 x 10^-3)
(III) The smallest meaningful measure of length is called the
Planck length, and is defined in terms of three fundamental
constants in nature: the speed of light c
the gravitational constant G = 6.67 × 10-11 m³/kg•s², and
Planck's constant h = 6.63 × 10-34 kg·m²/s. The Planck
length {p is given by the following combination of these
three constants:
3.00 × 10° m/s,
Gh
lp
Show that the dimensions of lp are length [L], and find the
order of magnitude of lp. [Recent theories (Chapters 32
and 33) suggest that the smallest particles (quarks, leptons)
are “strings" with lengths on the order of the Planck length,
10-35 m. These theories also suggest that the “Big Bang,"
with which the universe is believed to have begun, started
from an initial size on the order of the Planck length.]
For (b), why do we divide the (100Wx8h) by (103Wh)? I get that we need to cancel out the Wh, but why do we divide by 103 specifically?
