Bingo. There are a finite number of atoms in a coastline therefore there is a finite length. I suspect the calculus to derive it isn't even all that hard.


"There are a finite number of atoms in a coastline"

And atoms do not consist of smaller parts?


Do quarks even meaningfully have a position "inside" the atom?


There are also a finite number of quarks.


Maybe. So can you meassure it then?
