Default A Revised Planck Scale?

wrote:

Then the stellar scale observer asks the atomic scale observer to show
him his centimeter. The atomic scale observer holds up his centimeter,
and the stellar scale observer says, "That is NOT a centimeter; that is
1cm/5.2 x 10^17. When the atomic scale observer angrily asks to see
the stellar scale observer's cm, he laughs and says, "You are way off;
that thing is 5.2 x 10^17 cm long.

After much back and forth, the light dawns and they say in unison, "So
there are an infinite number of "centimeters" in nature, one for each
cosmological scale". Each has an equal claim to being "the centimeter".
The same is true for seconds and grams. That is Discrete Scale
Relativity in a nutshell.

Let me clarify that point, it doesn't matter what units your observers
use, if you say the physical Schwarzschild radius of a proton, then
the surface gravity of the Earth will increase too and it doesn't
matter
whether that is expressed in m/s^2 or furlongs/fortnight^2, a factor of

10^38 increase will reduce me to a monatomic layer.
