Spike Jones, esteemed creator of the lithiverse, cites the distance it
takes light to cross a proton, one "chronon" as the smallest possible
unit of quantized time. I beg to differ.
Just today, by a sheer coincidence, I was diddling away some time in my
10th grade Algebra II/Trigonometry class, and began to ponder this very
problem. From some quantum mechanics book somewhere, my brain dredged
up the result 10^-42 seconds as Planck time, the smallest measurable
unit of time. (For curiosity's sake, I spent a while working out a
back-of-the envelope calculation, and decided that one photon of light
should travel 3 * 10^-34 meters or so in Planck time.)
