Frequency and wave length (inverses) disappear when measured in Planck time. But Planck time is a pure abstraction. It is a useful unit for scientific calculation which bears no practical relevance for direct, lived human experience/observation outside of the "artificial" scientific construct in which it clearly is useful.
The other thing about Planck length (space)/Planck time which is really nasty is that anything "smaller" than its minimalist measure either (1) conceivably doesn't exist; or (2) human observers cannot say whether or not it exists, because anything "smaller" than the Planck measures is undetectable by the human mind.
Not to detract from the superlative genius of Max Planck here, heaven forfend. I only want to point out that in his context/construct, he was "doing" science, not life.

I believe when God created, He put his creation inside of a time box. God himself is outside of time. From inside the box, we get glimpses of timelessness.
Because God is outside of time, He sees all of time at once. This is why God can foreknow and yet be moved to action by my prayers. It is why I can make bad choices and yet in the future God can make these choices work together for my good. It is why freewill and predestination can both be true. All time is equal to God.
One day when I escape the limitations of my body, I will also leave the boundary of time and step into eternity.
Then I will know as I am known.
