Quark stars are possible.
But I remember that Daniel Greenberger wrote about an interesting uncertainty principle: delta m x delta tau > h, where m is mass and tau is proper time. In his theory, proper time and mass are physical quantities measured in a particular system of reference: the particle rest frame. Therefore, the proper time uncertainty delta tau expresses the standard deviation of measures from external frames of the reading an imaginary clock situated on the particle.
Interesting the deep connection between mass and (proper) time.
