minus-square@[email protected]linkfedilinkEnglish7•4 months agoWell, there’s a lot of particles that are “nano” in size. And “nano” isn’t a size; nano is a unit prefix. Even the earth is smaller than 1 nano parsec. So the meaning is irrelevant when earth is a nano “particle” (on the parsec scale). Meaningless jibber jabber.
