Lydia and Wikidatans, If we consider atoms and nano-related entities, and other similar different scale entities, will Wikidata string data types wish for more space in char limits, I wonder (and for anticipating data for a realistic virtual earth/universe at a) street view, b) neuronal/cellular c) molecular, d) nano/atomic levels, etc.)?
