All scientific experiments and human experiences occur over trillions of Planck times,[3] making any events happening at the Planck scale hard to detect. As of May 2010, the smallest time interval uncertainty in direct measurements is on the order of 12 attoseconds (1.2 × 10−17 seconds), about 2.2 × 10^26 Planck times
depressing (no?) that we can't delve into the flow of time (so to speak) any closer than that. That factor of 100000000000000000000000000 looks like it's going to be a little tough to crack. Not being able to discern past from future any closer than that leaves all manner of wiggle room for SATAN . . . .
While that may be the shortest direct measurements of time via pulsed light or something, one can translate the Energies of particle colliders such as the LHC into timescales at which the relevant scattering processes happen - by that logic, the hardest collissions at the LHC probe physics at something like 10^15 Planck times. Better, but still ways to go...
