Sensitivity of the LIGO detector for gravitational waves

Upper limit for the size of quarks and electrons Preons, hypothetical particles proposed as subcomponents of quarks and leptons the upper bound for the width of a cosmic string in string theoryĮffective cross section radius of high-energy neutrinos ĭe Broglie wavelength of protons at the Large Hadron Collider (4 TeV as of 2012 )

Quantum foam is thought to exist at this scale.Įffective cross section radius of 1 MeV neutrinos Planck length typical scale of hypothetical loop quantum gravity or size of a hypothetical string and of branes according to string theory, lengths smaller than this do not make any physical sense. To help compare different orders of magnitude, the following list describes various lengths between 1.6 × 10 − 35 metres. Huge-LQG, Hercules–Corona Borealis Great Wall, Observable universe Mount Everest, length of Panama Canal and Trans-Siberian Railway, larger asteroidĪ light-year, the distance to Proxima Centauri Piano, human, automobile, sperm whale, football field, Eiffel Tower Mosquito, golf ball, domestic cat, violin, football Wavelength of gamma rays and X-rays, hydrogen atomĭNA helix, virus, wavelength of optical spectrum, transistors used in CPUsīacterium, fog water droplet, human hair's diameter The following are examples of orders of magnitude for different lengths.įixed value (not a range).
