    Is a Fundamental Unit of Length Possible with the Planck Circle Problem?

    Thanks for the responses. Careful is probably closest to the solution that I concluded after some introspection. It occurred to me that because of the way that a Planck length is defined that it does not represent the smallest unit of measure, but a minimum uncertainty in line with the...

    Is a Fundamental Unit of Length Possible with the Planck Circle Problem?

    I'm reading up and it seems that you can't measure anything beneath the Planck length, so something with a length of 0.5 Planck lengths would have no meaning. What about something with 3.5 Planck lengths though? Measuring an object at 3.5 Planck lengths wouldn't produce a micro-black hole, so...

    Is a Fundamental Unit of Length Possible with the Planck Circle Problem?

    I was doing a thought experiment and came across something that I'm going to term the Planck Circle Problem for the sake of naming it something. The logic is as follows: 1.) All lengths contain an integer number of Planck Lengths. 2.) The radius and circumference of a circle are both...
