Well, that's the trick. It goes from "smaller than makes sense to talk
about" to "bigger than the universe." That's telling you how many bits of
precision you need.
"Smaller" as in "it's nonsensical to talk about distances shorter than that
because physics doesn't work that way", just like "there is no distance
bigger than the entire universe."

Forget "focus follows mouse." When do
I get "focus follows gaze"?
