Dr. Terell proposed during a class that perhaps there are units of distance (or movement) which cannot be divided any further. This also implies a limit for time as well, because spacetime is connective. The problem came to me in visualizing this concept because of radial geometry. If we consider the atomic level and assume a connection between particles, if one particle moves one unit, this does not necessarily obligate other particle’s movements. The result is a pixelated reality, as it takes measureable steps (a dependable ratio) before its effects are observed on other particles.
According to Dr. Terell, Plank's Constant (10^-35) is the smallest unit. But it's unique in that its derived completely from natural components (gravity, speed of light, and mass). Beat that, metric system!!!
ReplyDeleteThought provoking! I thought every movement had a counter movement. I am so happy you are a deep thinker! Makes a mama proud!
ReplyDeleteHes got a point kinda reminds me of talking of infinity and how if you add subtract multiply ect. infinity that essentially gives it an end nolonger making it infinity
