Right. I don't believe physical world is continuous. I was making an argument that the physical world is discrete in every way, energetically, materially, temporally, spacially. I was making the argument that physical continuousness does not exist. mathematical continuousness is grounded in minds, not in physicality. I was making an argument that continuousness exists in models of the physical world which have utility in some instances, but the models themselves being continuous do not say anything about the existence of actual physical infinities. They work to make predictions to a limited number of decimal places because the planck scale is so small that some physical things are EFFECTIVELY continuous for all practical purposes.

>mfw the greeks figured all this out using just geometry and people today -who think they are so advanced because they have an iPhone - are still too stupid to understand it
It's crazy how advance their though was. Zeno, for instance, new the illogic of physical infinities way back then and that motion made no sense if space were infinitely divisible. He couldn't have know way back then that apparent motion was achieved by screen refresh. This is not to deny math infinities or other things though which are concepts grounded in mind and not in physicality.
