Plancking: noun. An old fad amongst young physicists
where one would suspend themselves 1.61619926
× 10-35 meters above the surface of various objects around a
laboratory (typically objects that are unlikely to cause any damage). Soon after this started, there were incidents
of people injuring themselves doing it. It became seen as stupid and several
scientists spent hours desperately writing equations to show that they did not
over-come the atomic forces necessary to get close enough to the object,
disproving that they ever plancked.
