What If I take a very large tank of water, large enough that adding a small drop of water would increase its level by less than the Planck length?

So your tank is 1.2 million million km across. Level would not increase (< Planck length).

They use this kind of effect for building telescopes, adjusting on certain wavelengths.

Seems to me that at those scales, graviational effects would be dominant.

You'd struggle to make your Planck length measurements over the noise of all the fusion you've just caused.

What is this dumb fixation with the Planck Lenght?

The Planck Length is NOT fundamental on any level, we do not know if the length in space (and thus space) is quantified... The planck length is just an arbitrary constant of length as would be the length of a wood plank.

"level" is a macroscopic optical illusion.

you'd just be adding a few shuffing moecules to a pile of shuffling molecules , the positions of which would constantly be varying.

you could say the average y position of those molecules would increase, sure, but that doesn't have any physical significance.


Btw there isn't any particular reason to assume that there is anything non-continuous about lengths smaller than that of a planck length.

Before we go back to arguing about the Planck length, can I just digress a moment to say I really, really likethis cat.
