The shortest distance ever discussed in science is the Planck length. It's the shortest distance that can be measured. Our universe's pixel size.

So how small is it? A sphere with a Planck length diameter is to a human egg cell what a human egg is to the observable universe.

If you travel Planck's Length in Planck's Time, then you are traveling at the Speed of Light.

Cox explains this so simply that I'm lever feeling that I can't have been paying attention any time someone tried in the past. 😀

When I saw an article title that included, #gravity, #chaos, and #PlanckLength, it got my hopes up that it might be some new pilot wave or soliton conjecture, but, naturally, it turned out to be a much more realistic study on the effects of numerical simulation accuracy on irreversible solutions.

Is the #Planck #Length really the #Smallest?
