its only the limit we can probe things. just because we can’t measure something doesnt mean nature cant operate at that scale

- rolph 3mo agoactually the idea is that nature cant operate at that scale. the thing about planck units is they are extrapolations that end at single planck length that has some problems just with basic geometry, as well as a supposed instability of a planck space spontaneously collapsing. a planck unit volume must take a form that has dimensions of single planck units and pack together so that no smaller spacings are created. it cant be a sphere, at best it can be some sort of riemannian tetrahedron or triangle. it would be conveinient if that level was a 2D plane, but it still has issues.
- eggn00dles 3mo agoprobe something smaller than a planck unit and nature operates by creating a black hole
- rolph 3mo agothere is no smaller than a planck unit.
- eggn00dles 3mo agoif you want to ignore general relativity or pretend black holes dont exist, sure.
- rolph 3mo agoif you want to ignore the maximum energy content of space below schwarzchild radius of one planck length go ahead, there is no curvature that will bend space that tightly, and GR doesnt apply at that level
