I think eventually you end up at the Planck time, which is the amount of time it takes light to travel the Planck length, which is the smallest distance at which the very concept of distance has any practical meaning, defined in part by (but not equivalent to) the radius of a proton. That's my understanding of it anyway. I'm definitely not an expert either, but these type of questions have fascinated since I realized I was a being that exists in the world.
Thank you for enlightening me to the proper terminology. I did not know there was a name for it so that is very useful. I do have a couple of questions if you would humor me. 1. Is this length indivisible to us, or indivisible in general? 2.My understanding (Which may be ignorant) is that that whole is always made of a sum. If it is indivisible, how is it a length? Thanks for the reply brother.
@@CarverMelton The number that represents the Planck length is divisible, but there is nothing physically meaningful about, say, 0.5 Planck lengths. It's a natural unit derived from physical constants. I recommend reading the wikipedia article to get you started. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Planck_units
@@CarverMelton I only have a basic surface level understanding of this stuff, but yeah, I hope that points you in the right direction. Blow our minds with some deep insight in your next video!

That’s a cool thought.
Thanks brother. Glad you enjoyed it.
