Maybe, maybe not ? : [^]. "The physical universe is really like a movie/motion picture, in which a series of still images shown on a screen creates the illusion of moving images," Faizal said. "Thus, if this view is taken seriously, then our conscious precipitation of physical reality based on continuous motion becomes an illusion produced by a discrete underlying mathematical structure."
«The truth is a snare: you cannot have it, without being caught. You cannot have the truth in such a way that you catch it, but only in such a way that it catches you.» Soren Kierkegaard

So, they think time is discrete? There is no 1/infinity timestep?

Er, yeah, but that only proposes lack of fluidity of movement, except as expressed mathematically* -- the images are shown one after the other as a progression through time, which, last week, we thought was immutable. Until, of course, an hour of that time just simply up and disappeared... * But it's really more about the brain's capacity to compress, process, and store images, rather than the number-crunching that the guy, being a math-ophile, is fixated on

Only half of it.

Between the other steps. Think of it like numbers: rational number and irrational numbers. From the human point of view, all of time is spent on the steps of the irrational sort.

Ah, so half of "time" ("ti") can mutate into "it"! You're a genius!

The garbage collector is going to have its hands full if you have to instantiate a new time object every time it changes... Let's hope the clock isn't terribly precise!
