      Like, you place a glass on a table and it just falls through.
      That would make things interesting.

      Oh okay. I was confused because really lengths just measure things relative to one another, so if you made the Planck length larger you'd make everything else larger too and the universe would look exactly the same.

      Yeah, weird stuff happens on small scales; much larger than the Planck length though, in fact.

      Hehe, yes that is of course right. Didn't mean it like that.

      I was wondering, if someone would ask me what I meant.
      Not surprised that it was you, though

      If you brought the Sun down to the size of a white blood cell (10 micrometres), and then brought everything else down to scale, our galaxy, the Milky Way, would be the size of the continental U.S.A.

      shit... I deleted my post too late, you already replied. I of course wanted to post that in the other thread.

      edit, OHHH, you merged them. Man, that was confusing.

      Creepy as hell... but also awesome as hell. Makes me want to learn all about science, mainly about all of the tiny particles that make up us and objects around us.

      Best movie ever. How stoned were the writers of Ghostbusters? No one would come up with talking about a 600 pound Twinkie.
