Xanatic,
If the Planck length is the smallest we can measude than the only way we can go smaller is by assuming fractional Planks i.e Plank/(x)
The Planck length is the scale at which classical ideas about gravity and space-time cease to be valid, and quantum effects dominate. This is the 'quantum of length', the smallest measurement of length with any meaning. And roughly equal to 1.6 x 10-35 m or about 10-20 times the size of a proton.
Note,
That reads as ' times ten to the minus 25 times' the size of a proton.
Which I take to be twenty five orders of magnitude smaller than a proton.
