Of course it had a length.  The Torah gives that length.  And of course
it had that length in the KhK just as it did outside it.  And yet it
didn't take up space in the room.  From the wall to the aron was 10 amot,
the aron itself was 2.5 amot, from the opposite edge of the aron to the
other wall was 10 amot, and yet from wall to wall was only 20 amot.
Barring some complex Einsteinian explanation, this was a breach not just
of some arbitrary law of nature, but of logic itself.
