Is it true that the Planck length is the smallest possible length?
No. Multiple physics reference answers state that the Planck length is not the smallest possible length, describing it instead as a scale where quantum gravity becomes relevant or a measurement limit, not a fundamental minimum of nature. A few items assert a lower bound only within specific models or as a speculative assumption.
