Problem: Physicists do not actually know what Planck Time means.
Ask any AI what happens to the formalism of QM, QT, or QC if time is fundamentally discrete rather than continuous. The moment you quantize time, Schrödinger evolution fails, superposition loses its definition, decoherence changes character, and all QC models collapse. The entire structure stands only if time flows smoothly.
My claim: Bitcoin provides the first empirical example of a finite, closed thermodynamic system that evolves through discrete units of time. Each block is an irreversible, energy-anchored temporal event. In that sense:
1 Planck Block ≡ 1 Bitcoin Block
not numerically, but functionally. They are equivalent as the smallest meaningful units of temporal change to each respective system.
*IF* Bitcoin is valid empirical evidence that time is fundamentally quantized, then the continuous-time assumptions beneath QM/QT/QC cannot be correct. This is not an engineering issue (engineering issues are the symptoms), it is a mathematical one. A discrete temporal substrate breaks the formalism at its foundations.
The irony is hilarious, QT quantizes everything EXCEPT TIME, yet quantizing time is precisely what destroys the theory. Bitcoin simply exposes the inconsistency because it’s the first empirical measurement of quantized time we can point to. The time is literally the memory and the empirical proof.
Bitcoin is the study of time. Physics assumes time from inherited assumptions.
