Planck time
You guys certainly know this better than I do, but Planck time can have one of two meanings:
1. You've worn out your welcome on the pirate ship.
2. Somewhere, a photon has just traveled one Planck length. I certainly don't pretend to understand all the ins-and-outs, but this has been called the smallest meaningful unit of time. In that case, what about the timespan for a photon to cross half a Planck length? Or the time it takes for a photon to look both ways before crossing?
I really enjoy reading about the timey-wimey aspects of space-time. What modern physics tells us about time is just plain cool.
To paraphrase Carl: if it's just us, it seems like an awful waste of time.
