Quantum scale equal neutrino


It must be very difficult to measure the size of a neutrino.  It must be quite difficult to measure the smallest possible length, if it exists.  ie the quantum of length.

It just seemed to me rather obvious that there was a possibility to simplify things a little, by assuming that these two things were actually the same.  That there is a particle with the minimum possible length, and that this is the neutrino.

I get the feeling that this must somehow tells us its mass as well. The time for light to cross the diameter ( whatever that means in a quantum length world) implies an uncertainty in its energy, and hence its mass.  Is something like h (cross) divided by ( c times quantum of distance)

I do wonder also whether space is completely full of pretty well real or virtual stationary neutrinos, therefore bringing back the ether hypothesis and giving the quantum grittiness to everything else.  I suspect that might be a step too far.
