You and froopy do not understand Plank's length.
Plank's length does not define a limit to physical length, but defines the the length at which space-time is overcome by quantum effects. . . and the point at which the coastline would become unmeasurable due to its 'foaminess'
To say there is no infinity, is equvalent to saying there is no zero.
and bryant. . . there is nothing wrong with the math.
