Thanks for the explanation. I had to google "dimensionless constant" lol. Maybe it is all just math at the foundation after all!

Oh, really? I totally misunderstood then. I thought I knew physics a little better than that! Thanks.

EDIT: Hmm, so doesn't the fact that this particular value makes the math simplified not also imply some kind of meaning?

Right, sorry.

It's like this with so much media, it drives me crazy. For instance, in the country I'm currently in there is no way to legally watch a lot of movies - not because of censorship or anything, they are simply not distributed, even on google-play, amazon etc. No choice but it use torrent. Why?

Doesn't the plank distance imply quantization of space? At least in relative terms.
