*1* Which one is the heaviest, 5h, 3kg, or 20cm?5h, without a doubt. Because time can be broken down into infinitely small pieces
This is uncertain. If the time is quantified 5 hrs might as well contain much less quanta than 3 kg, let alone 20 cm :-) -- Krzysztof Halasa

You're forgetting that if time is quantized, it's as part of a general quantization of space-time. Thus, there would be as many quanta in 5 hrs as in 539,626,442,400,000 cm. -hpa
