Not that it has anything to do with spirituality, but who can tell me what the smallest measure of time is?
Science and Religion doesn't ever mix.

And I am afraid this has nothing to do with spirituality -it is a strictly scientific concept.

So, I think the correct answer is probably, there is no smallest measure of anything.
Of course, there are limits on the measuring devices we use to make these measurements. Is that what you were actually asking? What's the smallest we can actually measure?

The smallest measure of time is the amount of time between the moment a person confesses the need for the Savior Jesus and the moment that person is flooded with the love of God in forgiveness of all of his or her sins and is received by the Father as a saved sinner.

To be perfectly honest, I'm thinking of a measure of time I know of that is mentioned in the Bible. Albeit in a round-about way. I'm going to hold off telling what it is untill either someone can name it before I do and/or untill I read a reply that says what "science" has discovered.
But I see what you mean. The more one tries to get at a smaller measure the smaller the measure becomes, and so on.
But, I'll not pretend to know, really, the answer. I just thought it might make for an interesting discussion, at least for some.

It seems to me that Spiritualism is a tool as important as Science and Philosophy, and that it is necessary for the individual who looks for well backed up answers at every field. Spiritulism is not related strictly with religion and, therefore, with the pseudoscience of Theology, althouh many people use to believe that this is the case. But this is merely a false impression.
Spiritualism has primarly to do with constant awareness and metaphysics; Philosophy has to do with both Science and awareness and metaphysics; and Science can occur solely through the evalution of the mind along with scientific methods, finds and evidence.
Therefore, in my opinion the scientist cannot proceed if s/he is a bad philosopher -and you know the drill😵

I use to heat water using common sens, and I use spiritualism using common sens. I accept or deny afterlife according the evaluation of the mind -ie examining the position evolving together common sens, spiritualism, my personal philosophy, my ever questioned knowledge and the scientific doctrins I am able to perceive.
Spiritualism offers me the chance to cross check at yet another levels the procedure of my thoughts and to realise what I may see as temporary granded, what I may see as a long-term delusion, what I may see as temporary known and what I see as temporary or long-term unknown.
So Science, like Spiritualism, is just a tool of mine of great importance -say, a scalpel. I will definately use not a scalpel when I want to replace a bulb, but I will the scalpel handy -just in case😵
