  "abstract": "Certain linear objects, termed physical lines, are considered, and initial assumptions concerning their properties are introduced. A physical line in the form of a circle is called a \\emph{$J$-string}. It is assumed that a $J$-string has an angular momentum whose value is $\\hbar$. It is then established that a $J$-string of radius $R$ possesses a mass $m_J$, equal to $h/2\\pi c R$, a corresponding energy, as well as a charge $q_J$, where $q_J = (hc/2\\pi)^{1/2}$. It is shown that this physical curve consists of indivisible line segments of length $\\ell_\\Delta = 2\\pi(hG/c^3)^{1/2}$, where $c$ is the speed of light and $G$ is the gravitational constant. Quantum features of $J$-strings are studied. Based upon investigation of the properties and characteristics of $J$-strings, a method is developed for the computation of the Planck length and mass $(\\ell^*_P, m^*_P)$. The values of $\\ell^*_P$ and $m^*_P$ are computed according to the resulting formulae (and given in the paper); these values differ from the currently accepted ones.",
