fine, remember this when your text book tells you
that some phenomenon -did- occur in Planck time.
you can rightfully say that you remain dubious of such a contention.

well, this is what you say above;
you say;

Planck time exists -only- as a mental construct
and has never been verified in physical processes
but you see fit to call it a fact,and this
goes against your own grain.

it's not just another way to -measure- the passage of time
Plank time is a theorized -increment- _of_ time
and said increment has not been -measured- by anyone anywhere

remember that when someone tells you what they think is
going in at Planck time, or -has- occured in Planck time, ever.
you can say; "i'm dubious of what you are saying"

as far as -you- know, 'quantum fluctuations'
is a 'false cause' of the material universe
cuz, after all, you "have no idea" about what
is going on at "Planck time"

you can have total faith in Planck time and that doesn't make it real.

so, then, you should be able to show me
some supporting evidence for Planck time.
