According to the Guinness Book of Record, the smallest unit of measurement is only around a millionth of a billionth of a billionth of a billionth of a centimeter. This measurement is named for what scientist?

The Planck unit kind of defies logic, but it's an established unit in science nonetheless. As explained on Wikipedia: "It is the smallest distance about which current experimentally corroborated models of physics can make meaningful statements. At such small distances, the conventional laws of macro-physics no longer apply, and even relativistic physics requires special treatment."
