I don't think a deep knowledge of physics is what we lack here, at least for the question of continuous vs. discrete time. Maybe the best
There is a discrete time quantum. But unless you're doing simulations at the quantum level, you really don't want to go there (even ignoring that one second of real time would take a really long time to calculate on current hardware :); stick to macrocosmic physics, which is statistically continuous. -- brandon s. allbery [solaris,freebsd,perl,pugs,haskell] allbery@kf8nh.com system administrator [openafs,heimdal,too many hats] allbery@ece.cmu.edu electrical and computer engineering, carnegie mellon university KF8NH
