Or, thinking about it, quantum mechanics. From that we get the Planck Time (on the smallest intervals, time is quantised - there is no physically meaningful interval shorter then about 10^-43 seconds - not too sure about the number, will have to look it up at some point). Yes, there is a big question mark over how this fits in with General Relativity; is my Planck Timne your's? This is what we mean when we talk about the problems in formulating a Grand Unified Theory of physics - some bits of it flat-out contradict others. ... This is the kind of physics I enjoy. Sadly we don't get to play with the quantum vacuum in Labs...
