Is there any net gravitational attraction within a Plancks length, at that small of a distance all the mass of the universe appears to be outside?
 
Physics news on Phys.org
I am eagerly waiting for someone to post references of an experiment performed at these length scales.

If we are just a Planck length away from a particle, we feel tremendous gravity force from it, don't we?

Regards.

Thread 'Is a table levitating possible, even at a minuscule probability?'

I am not sure if this falls under classical physics or quantum physics or somewhere else (so feel free to put it in the right section), but is there any micro state of the universe one can think of which if evolved under the current laws of nature, inevitably results in outcomes such as a table levitating? That example is just a random one I decided to choose but I'm really asking about any event that would seem like a "miracle" to the ordinary person (i.e. any event that doesn't seem to...
