Noun

/ˈkrəʊnɒn/

/ˈkroʊnɑn/

A hypothetical quantum of time, representing the smallest, indivisible unit of time in theoretical physics.

In some theories of quantum gravity, the chronon is considered the fundamental unit of time.

The time it takes light to traverse the classical radius of an electron (≈6.27×10⁻²⁴ seconds).

In one early estimation, the chronon equals the time required for light to cross the electron's classical radius.

Adjective

/ˈkrəʊnɒn/

/ˈkroʊnɑn/

Of or relating to a chronon or to quantized, discrete time.

The chronon model proposes that time advances in finite steps.
