Femto
then it gets into units that no-one ever uses except to show off.

Femto sounds too gender-specific though

It sounds like a kind of alcoholic Vimto to appeal more to ladies

They are used in things like string theory.
The smallest distance known to man (and consequently, things smaller than that don't exist) is 10^-35m

Strictly, for the agnostics and instrumentalists,
anything smaller can't be known. But most people here are 2 x 10^-35m thick and don't care.

I should be getting the results of my physics degree today,
or so I've been told.

I'd say good luck
but it's too late.

On the other hand, until you find out your results you have a quantum superposition of all possible results. You should be able to get a job with that.

Is the cat dead?

( DeSpong currently knitting your suggestions - see profile, Wed 1 Jul 2009, 11:01, archived)

It's both dead and alive.
Or alive and dead.

Or you could say that the cat has eyes and can be called an observer so it's in one state or the other but only the cat knows.

Or you could stop caring, like I did.

Only the cat knows.
That is my new catchphrase.

if it's the title of your autobiography I want some credit.

I will put you in the dedication at the front

I think a stuffed cat might be a better choice
as it also can't KNOW it's alive or dead.

Yeah,
but an outside observer knows it's dead.

oh piss

Why didn't I think of that before?
Although mathematically some classifications weren't achievable.

such as first, 2:1 or 2:2

Nah,
I already know the result of 80% of the degree.
