In physics, a quantum is the minimum unit of any physical entity involved in an interaction. Since there is no minimum unit of time that is currently known then, no, there is no quantum time.

Aside: If one thinks of the term "quantum" more colloquially then you might say that it is a unit that is synonymous with very tiny therefore you could call a short amount of time a quanta of time. Example: In physics, the Planck time, (tP), is the unit of time in the system of natural units known as Planck units. It is the time required for light to travel, in a vacuum, a distance of 1 Planck length. Planck time is about 5.4*10^(- 44) seconds. The unit is named after Max Planck, who was the first to propose it.

If a year passes on a ship traveling 60 percent light speed how many years have passed on earth?

For the traveller, the trip takes 1 year, travelling at 60% the speed of light (or 0.6C). This would mean that he will perceive himself as have travelled 0.6 light years (a distance of about 9.46x1012km). To calculate the time that has elapsed on Earth, you can use this simplified equation: Spaceship Time = Earth Time x sqrt[1-(v/c)2] Spaceship Time = Earth Time x sqrt[1-(0.6c/c)2] Spaceship Time = Earth Time x sqrt[1-(0.6)2] Spaceship Time = Earth Time x sqrt[1-0.36] Spaceship Time = Earth Time x sqrt[0.64] Spaceship Time = Earth Time x 0.8 Spaceship Time = 1 year 1 year spaceship = Earth Time x 0.8 Earth Time = 1 year spaceship / 0.8 Earth Time = 1.25 years Thus, after 1 year has passed for the person on the spaceship, 1.25 years have passed on Earth.


Is space time different from earth time?

Yes, spacetime and Earth time are different concepts. Spacetime is a four-dimensional framework that combines the three dimensions of space with the fourth dimension of time. Earth time refers to the measurement of time based on Earth's rotation and revolves around the concept of days, years, etc.


Is it night time in ALL parts of the world in th SAME time?

No. Day and night is determined by what part of Earth is facing the sun. Half of the Earth faces toward the sun and half of earth faces away from the sun. As the Earth spins on it's axis, we get daylight in one side of the earth, and night time in the other side of the earth. It is never possible to have night time, or day time, on all the earth at the exact same time.


How does the existence of people on Earth compare with the length of geologic time on Earth?

The existence of people on Earth is relatively short compared to the length of geologic time on Earth. Humans have been around for only a tiny fraction of Earth's history, which spans billions of years. Geologic time encompasses vast scales of time, with the history of humanity representing just a minuscule portion of it.
