    Why do you believe it is the smallest meaningful unit of time? Because it is the amount of time it takes a photon to travel 1 planck length?

    Hmm. I thought that Planck time was just a constant that was formed from other sets of magic numbers that happened to have the units of time?

    Do you feel that there are no processes which can happen in shorter lengths of time?

    Regards.
