Coastline paradox

Due to the coastline paradox, it is difficult to determine the longest beach in the world, as the resulting measurements are highly dependent on the resolution at which a beach is recorded. For instance, the more accurately you measure the coast of a given beach, the longer the beach will inevitably become.{{Cite journal |last=Steinhaus |first=Hugo |date=1954 |title=Length, shape and area |url=https://www.impan.pl/pl/wydawnictwa/czasopisma-i-serie-wydawnicze/colloquium-mathematicum/all/3/1/93999/length-shape-and-area |journal=Colloquium Mathematicum |language=pl |volume=3 |pages=1–13 |doi=10.4064/cm-3-1-1-13 |issn=0010-1354}}
