That's ... contentious. In both quantum mechanics and GR, time is completely, flattly, continuous. In certain extremely speculative frameworks attempting to combine the regimes in which they are applicable, that may not be the case. But for accepted physics models, time really is continous. -- Aaron Denney -><- _______________________________________________ Haskell-Cafe mailing list Haskell-Cafe@haskell.org http://www.haskell.org/mailman/listinfo/haskell-cafe
