Assume perfect coordination and the ability to localize my palms to the quantum level. 15 halvings gets them to within a cell’s width. 33 to within a single atom, 50 and they’re a proton’s width apart. Half the distance 115 times and they’re a single Planck-length apart - 1.6x10^-35 meters. Surely we can keep going - .8, .4, .2 x10^-35 m? Bizarrely, those distances might not even exist in any meaningful way. • Check out the Space Time Merch Store • https://www.pbsspacetime.com/shop • Sign up for the mailing list to get episode notifications and hear special announcements! • https://mailchi.mp/1a6eb8f2717d/space... • Hosted by Matt O'Dowd • Written by Matt O'Dowd • Graphics by Leonardo Scholzer, Yago Ballarini, Pedro Osinski, Adriano Leal Stephanie Faria • GFX Visualizations: Katherine Kornei • Directed by Andrew Kornhaber • Assistant Producer: Setare Gholipour • Executive Producers: Eric Brown Andrew Kornhaber • End Credits Music by J.R.S.
