Quantized Time.

Name: Anonymous 2005-12-21 23:03

Is time quantized (i.e. not really continuous)?  Is this a scientific question?  Is there any way to talk sensibly about such a concept?

that don't really imply that time is not continuous, just that measurements can not be made to any arbitrary degree of accuracy.  quantized time comes naturally from process physics ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Process_physics ) and digital physics ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Digital_physics ).

Time exists not.

OMG TIME PARADOX

Time is most likely, at least to us, continuous. We quantize time to make it easier to handle, like plotting graphs and having date and time next to idiotic posts like "STFU NERD".

Someone making that post on 4chan should experience a time paradox and regress back into his father's right nutsack

Time is quantized, however it is still apparently continuous, just chaotically unpredictable past a certain point.

Time is very predictable...

If it is, that would be really cool and a major scientific discovery.  Think about all the technology that came from the idea that light is quantized?  I mean DVD players(well really anything with a laser), LCD screens, wireless TV remotes, etc all have their roots in the fact light is quantized.

At least that's what I'm assuming you meant by this whole thread.  that time cacn only be done in  a certain limiting discrete packet much like light

You realise that there is no fucking way to verify if time is discrete right? Jesus fucking christ omg idiots.

yeah, discete time is easier, that's why so much useful (I.E. CLASSICAL) physics assumes the opposite. LOL

8 meant having dates and so on which isn't exactly related to Plank time.

How long it takes for light to travel the diameter of a proton?

What about electrons?
