Is there a unit of time that can't be any briefer?
Does "time" have a unit that can't be any briefer?  As an analogy,
just as in atoms, where there are protons, and quarks, and so forth,
but at some point we seek to find some "ultimate particle", does
"time" have some measured unit that, if it were made any smaller,
nothing at all would happen?
