With distance, scientists have found a minimum length (called the Planck diststance, I think). It's something like 10^-34 meters. i.e. 0.000000000000000000000000000000001 meters.

(Of course, this is quantum, so who knows whether they'll eventually find a way to subdivide it! )

yes bev nothing exists tachnically but life was an accident (as you know) so without life it wouldn't matter. so ehhh you know practically it only doesnt exist through a translator such as number syatems such as decimal hexidecimal and binary and so on. these are quite simply creations of life and dont practically exist so anything explained through them = non existent

a fight between who? Ladydyke and herself?
I have not been in a fight for 2 years and I don't plan on getting in one

Ulrike - of course they can subdivide it! think: if it were possible to continualy divide something by 2 and get to an absolute 0, the thing could not exist in the first place, for you cannot divide by 0, and to reconstruct it to its full state, you would have to multiply it back up, and all you'll get by multiplying by 0, is 0.

as for the "placnk distance" it is the most our current technology can divide something. Tell me. If that were the minimum legnth, where did the 0.000000000000000000000000000000001 come from? and don't say god... we already had that discussion.

You need to read some theoretical physics before you start asking those questions, colonel. Our current technology detects nowhere near the Planck distance. That length is a result from quantum physics, and I believe it is related to the uncertainty principle but it's been a while since I've looked over that stuff. As for where it came from, when the Big Bang occurred certain physical constants were 'frozen' into the spacetime continuum. The most famous is probably c = speed of light. I won't even try to provide details since there are at least a dozen theories as to how it all worked. So far none of them handles every detail.

As for eternal subdivision, as far as I can tell you've contradicted yourself. First you say it is possible to subdivide the Planck distance, then you say it is not.

And we all understand what you just said.
