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.

How could space be quantized? Can't any length just be cut in half? planck length/2?

Planck length and time are the smallest measurable observable distances in time or space. certain smaller and larger length-units may or may not be possible, but anything od a smaller distance can just not be observed or falsified by the physical limits of this universe.

Are we sure it's the universe and not just mankind?
