Planck-time (10exp-43(s)) — Prishon
What say you? — TheMadFool
Should have implications for Calculus, infinitesimals to be precise. What say you? — TheMadFool
Not if the physical space has a Natural limit of continuity. — Prishon
infinitesimals to be precise — TheMadFool
Zeno showed that space and objects in them appear to be both finite and infinite at the same time. This is why Kant called this an Antimony (an impasse) — Gregory
If space is not infinitely divisible than there is a space that can't be divided — Gregory
Which theorem? Whats NSA? — Prishon
If you are not familiar with a certain area of mathematics it would make little sense. Has to do with the convergence of infinite compositions of parabolic linear fractional transformations (having indifferent fixed points) that converge to the identity. — jgill
infinitesimals to be precise
— TheMadFool
I suppose physical space might. I'm not saying it does.
But infinitesimals are rarely used as such in math that is not non-standard analysis. However, just recently I employed a step to prove a theorem of sorts in which a second order term was ignored, similar to NSA. — jgill
About as much as anything on The Philosophy Forum — jgill
And that is how much? — Prishon
Math is the cause for getting the physics wrong... — Prishon
I mean, does the fact that things can move trough spacetime prove that there is continuity on every level? — Prishon
Can there be processes outside 4D spacetime that determine how each new interval must look like? — Prishon
I don't see how you derive this conclusion — Metaphysician Undercover
