Impractical waste of computing power and information storage
Not if you encode it using an exponent. One Planck time unit is roughly 1.8 x 10^-43^ seconds, so with an exponent of 2^128^ (roughly 3.4 x 10^38^) you could write a second as 54510 x 2^128^ T~P~
Another fun fact, 2^128+32^ Planck time units are about 21 hours
Also almost killed all computing in y2k
