Abstract Through the previously reported the quantum-identity, the light-model, and the T (temperature) $$\cdot$$ · S (entropy) energy, the implied meaning of temperature and entropy, respectively, which it was difficult to intuitively recognize, was clearly defined. In order to minimize possible errors at this time, the interrelationship of the SI base unit, which is the smallest unit, and the T (temperature) $$\cdot$$ · S (entropy) unit integration was used. In the process of converting to Planck units, each unit (criterion) for entropy and temperature was calculated, and their physical and chemical meanings were compared and reinterpreted. Thus, the unit of entropy is related to the Boltzmann constant, and the temperature is the oscillation of pure mass units. Therefore, the intuitive recognition of physical and chemical factors based on the unit of meter(m)-time(s) is considered sufficient as an initiator to move closer to new science beyond the current limited application.
