Plural of chronon; multiple hypothetical indivisible units of time in theoretical physics.
Simple plural of chronon, following standard English pluralization. Emerged as theoretical physicists discussed time quantization in the latter half of the 20th century.
If chronons exist, reality would be like a cosmic movie—time wouldn't flow continuously but would jump in tiny increments, and everything would really be happening in discrete moments, not smoothly!
