A newly discovered trade-off in the way time-keeping devices operate on a fundamental level could set a hard limit on the performance of large-scale quantum computers, according to researchers from the Vienna University of Technology.

It feels like a relief.
We already had quantum theory that told us not to hack energy into infinitely small pieces, and we had the uncertainty principle, so we refrained from doing the same to space.
Now we know that time behaves itself somewhat accordingly.
