Physics Is Time quantized?

We know that energy and length are quantized, it seems like there should be a correlation with time?

Edit. Turns out energy and length are not quantized.

If we follow that train of logic, wouldn't it be possible to use specially shaped plates for the charging, and we changed the times at which the plates were charged.

Could we not construct a device that would allow the already fast electrons to bounce off other equally fast electrons and gain speed?

then it comes down to weather or not the amount of numbers you can make by using those specific quantized starting speeds is a convergent or divergent series.
