Length of the coast of Britain?

  That assumes details can be arbitrarily small, which Planck refuted.

    Not Planck, but by a few others after him. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quantum_spacetime https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quantum_spacetime

    Refuted? I thought that hypothesis was far from proven.

    We don't have to get anywhere near the Plank scale. If you trace the 'edges' of atoms you'll end up with a finite multiple of a meter-scale or kilometer-scale measurement. And that's the end of the fractal.

      Also, at an atomic scale, the word "coast" doesn't really make sense any more...
