You mean something like a picomoment?

Or a miment.

Not if they are contiguous, i.e. have no gap between them. How big is the gap between the Canadian and American border? There isn't one, they are contiguous.

Same between the USA and Mexico.

Or have they strung the electrified barbed wire since I last checked? :)

shortest definition of time, called "moment" ... shorter than a moment.

you say that "moment" is already the shortest moment, so how can it be shorter moment than the shortest? bad question asked.

I've said "if". Thank you for your comment.

If "moment" is to be defined as the shortest period of time, then any time between moments can only be the length of a "moment". If it is actually smaller, then THAT amount of time is actually a "moment", since "moment" has already been defined as the shortest period of time.
