OK, sis wolfie, ... want something tinier than a nanometer? Here you go.
A Sense of Scale.
The "strings" of string theory are unimaginably small. And when we say "unimaginably," we mean it: Your average string, if it exists, is about 10^-33 centimeters long. That's a point followed by 32 zeros and then a 1. -- 0.000000000000000000000000000000001 !!! -- It's a millionth of a billionth of a billionth of a billionth of a centimeter. (Physicists stick to metric.) Or, think of it this way: if an atom were magnified to the size of the solar system, a string would be the size of a tree. Yup, real small.
Planck length (approx. 1.61624(12) x 10^-35 meters) is roughly 17 orders of magnitude smaller than what physicists can currently detect using their largest particle accelerators (in fact, to see individual strings we would need an accelerator the size of the Milky Way galaxy).
(Neat interactive video here.)

[Notice what's revealed at one nanometer (or, 10^-9 meters): the double helix within a strand of DNA. -- "See" a String Theory "string" at 10^-33 meters. -- Then, don't miss what's revealed at 10^-35 meters.] ;)

How beautiful Isomam to give all glory to God and just think of all the occasions there are to do so--:friends: and that too is a wonderful part of life :grouphug: (maybe someday I will be able to speak that mathematical language like you and Vicky :love: )
