- Abstract
This article explores the concept of size, focusing on how small objects can be and what the smallest measurable unit is. The largest known object is the Universe, while the largest star in our galaxy is Stephenson 2 DFK 1. On the other end of the spectrum, the smallest measurable unit is the Planck length. The article also discusses the world of smallness, including sizes like nanometers and picometers. It mentions the field of quantum computing, which has the potential for computational processes beyond what is possible with standard computers. The article concludes by encouraging students to explore measurement skills and quantum computing.
