I have only read the most recent post in this thread but thought it worth mentioning that I just put a dash of ground cloves in a blackberry pie. It was good.

I was just trying to illustrate how it connects to the apparently arbitrary nature of sounds as well as allowing us to share information. I get what you mean about the analogy not carrying that far, but I think it holds in a cruder sense since it is useful to have some arbitrary point of reference (unghh nurrrggg gruuuuuh hoooommmmmmmnaaan, seconds days years), and that the standardization of time allows me to efficiently communicate things relating to time.

Quoted from wikipedia: "It is the time it would take a photon traveling at the speed of light in a vacuum to cross a distance equal to the Planck length."

I do not think that addresses her issues in the least. She mentioned how the second is based on the decay of an isotope and then said how that would be fine if people didn't use the seemingly arbitrary numbers of time to rule their lives.
And while basing a metric on Planck and light sounds nice to physicists, that unit is fairly useless most of the time.
