But, we don't really need it.
 
If so, could probably extend to 128 bits, maybe go to nanoseconds or
picoseconds.

The reason why I chose the Planck interval as the time unit is that
quantum physics says that’s the smallest possible time interval that makes
any physical sense. So there shouldn’t be any need to measure time more
accurately than that.
