But I suppose even then it would get corrected pretty quickly so we wouldn't notice or something.
Ah, just smash everything up instead.
The 10^-11 is like the mean value of fluctuation size which you would see with probability ~ 1. If you want a much bigger fluctuation, the probability is exponentially suppressed. So if you want a fluctuation of relative size 1 (like a stone jumping up fron thermal energy, that probability is like p~ e^(-10^11) or something absurdly small like that.)
