Is there a shortest possible distance besides zero? Or there's no limitation at all?
Good question. Check out my discussion of it http://thisquantumworld.com/topdown.htm" .Harmony said:Is there a shortest possible distance besides zero? Or there's no limitation at all?

The shortest distance between two points is the straight line distance, also known as the Euclidean distance. This is the most direct path between two points and can be calculated using the Pythagorean theorem.
The shortest distance exists if there is a direct path between two points without any obstructions or barriers. This can be determined by visually inspecting the space or by using mathematical equations and calculations.
No, the shortest distance cannot be negative. Distance is a measure of how far apart two points are and cannot have a negative value. If the two points are in opposite directions, the distance would be considered as the absolute value of the difference between the two points.
Yes, the shortest distance can exist in curved spaces. In non-Euclidean geometry, the shortest distance between two points can be found using different equations and methods, taking into account the curvature of the space.
The shortest distance between two points is essentially the slope of the straight line connecting them. In mathematics, slope is defined as the change in y-coordinates over the change in x-coordinates, which is the same as the ratio of the vertical distance to the horizontal distance in the case of the shortest distance.
