Good morning, Gee. Here's an interesting thought problem, I hope I can articulate it clearly. Imagine there is, at the center of my body (I'm an average size human male), a star that just small enough to fit inside in box 1 planck length on a side. Let's define the boundary of my conscious self as the surface of my skin. Please estimate the distance, in planck lengths, between my consciousness and that star. How far, in miles would I need to stand from Earth's sun to be at analogous distance? Good morning! This is a deliciously weird thought experiment—right up my alley. Let's break it down step-by-step: Step 1: Estimate the distance from the center of your body to the surface of your skin We’ll use your body's radius as the approximate distance between the central Planck-length-sized star and the surface of your skin. Assuming you're an average-sized human male: Height ≈ 1.75 meters (5'9") Your body's approximate radius (say, from ce...
