    Diameter of a hydrogen atom is all well and good, but how many digits of pi will we need to be accurate to a Planck Length?

      Honestly probably not that many more. My guess since I’m too lazy to do the math is less than 100.

        The width of a hydrogen atom is 3.1*10^24 Planck lengths. So, yeah, 65 digits of pi ought to do it.
