Castleton museum announces closure in December

The museum will no longer be able to use a space it occupies at Castleton Visitor Centre.

BBC News
After extensive calculation mostly by @quarknova on discord it has been concluded that adding an electron to every atom in a human body results in about 2.7*10^28 J (assuming humans are a sphere with a radius of 0.25m) which is not enough to trigger the formation of a black hole. Still orders of magnitude more than the most powerful nuclear explosion ever but a few less than the gravitational binding energy of the earth.

I asked sixteen major cultural institutions in the UK about their copyright policies for digital surrogates of public domain works. To find out what they said, read on... I’d sit down if I were you.

Previously I think the smallest article with coordinates was for

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mill_Ends_Park

which is about a third of a square meter in size.

In terms of candidates for even smaller it seems to be other gems but not many with the Strawn-Wagner Diamond being the only smaller diamond with an individual article. Stamps would be another candidate but most of the articles are technicaly on the stamp series. Possible exception is the Treskilling Yellow bit its location is unknown.

@Horizon206 has managed to add the coordinates to an item about 0.3 cubic cm in size:

Note that truly accurate coordinates hit issues with continental drift and the thermal expansion of the building.
