"How much of wiggle is a wiggle?" There's actually a mind-blowing answer, which physicist Max Planck arrived at around the turn of the 20th century, the absolute minimum units of a universe where the laws of physics can apply and play. Planck Length, Planck Time, Planck Energy. For example, a Planck Length is: 0.000000000000000000001 of the diameter of a proton. There are twenty zeroes in there. At our normal human size, a Planck Length is smaller compared to us, than we are compared to the size of the Observable Universe. For a unit of Planck Time as compared to a standard second, instead of twenty zeroes, there are forty-two of them, like so: 0.0000000000000000000000000000000000000000001 Modern physicists can wind back the clock and understand how the Universe was and behaved nearly to the Big Bang itself, except for that very first unit of Planck Time. In fact, this utterly mysterious, almost infinitesimal instant, is known as The Planck Era.

Thanks for this - variations on his other talks, but one I haven't heard before.
Thank you for sharing this lesson by "the teacher" I am grateful.....
Alan Watts thank you for your service ❤️
This was excellent. Thank you!
