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.
