have simple things done on modern computers been measured in plank time? plank is the smallest unit of time apparently

i'm most interested in how many planks it takes for today's computers to evaluate a bool. on the OS X side of things, i've heard this is a single instruction

Planck time isn't like the shortest possible time it's like the shortest measurable time or the time shortest which we can be certain of something etc. same with Planck length (your dick) or Planck mass (your balls)

well how many plancks does it take for a 2015 macbook pro to figure out if a bool is set to YES or NO?

why

i guess i could just convert the nano seconds it takes into planks if i figure that out

how do you measure things that are so massively faster than anything that can measure them that it's it's like trying to measure an atom with a yardstick?

planck time is simply the value of t when you do calculations with c = 1

you can't as of yet, and i don't know we'll ever be able to. it's just a made up number based on some poo poo. according to wikipedia in the article about planck time "As of May 2010, the smallest time interval uncertainty in direct measurements is on the order of 12 attoseconds (1.2 × 10−17 seconds), about 3.7 × 1026 Planck times."
