The diameter of a hydrogen atom is over 10,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000 plank lengths.

So based on this post I have no idea.

Well that's only 26 more digits, so we're probably good at 100 digits of pi. [citation needed]

log_10(size of observable universe / planck length) = 61.74... so like 63 digits of precision for everything are enough
