The Heisenberg limit at cosmological scales
Abstract
For an observation time {equal to} the universe age, the Heisenberg principle fixes the value of the smallest measurable mass at kg and prevents to probe the masslessness for any particle using a balance. The corresponding reduced Compton length to is , and represents the length limit beyond which masslessness cannot be proved using a metre ruler. In turns, is equated to the luminosity distance which corresponds to a red shift . When using the Concordance-Model parameters, we get Gpc and . Remarkably, falls quite short to the radius of the {\it observable} universe. According to this result, tensions in cosmological parameters could be nothing else but due to comparing data inside and beyond . Finally, in terms of quantum quantities, the expansion constant reveals to be one order of magnitude above the smallest measurable energy, divided by the Planck constant
