The purpose of this thread is to ask users if they know if time is continuous or if it advances in discrete steps.

I don't recall in detail. I figured the OP might want to check it out because he's the one that was interested. But as far as I remember there was a unit called a Planck Time or something that is the smallest measureable (and therefore meaningful) unit of time, because that's how long it takes a beam of light to travel the smallest measureable unit of distance.

 

[So]

Does the planck time make units of time discrete?

Actually, a Rolex is still discrete. You would need the new Seiko Spring Drive for it to be continuous. A Rolex runs at eight beats per second, very smooth, but still discontinuous.

Depends on whether or not cronotons exist...

So what do you all think about Philip Seymour Hoffman being The Penguin in the next Batman movie?

Hey, you never know.
Is there a DC Comics villain named "the Troll"?
If so, Arkadioh has a movie role.

Penguins often seem continuous, but they are also quite discrete.

Just ask Arcadio! Rumor has it that he's been having an affair with one for years, but that penguin just won't comment.

There are some things even a penguin won't admit to.

I hear they can also be pretty discreet when they want to be.

I am talking about time itself. In a physical sense. Is there a "smallest unit of time"?

Planck Planck Planck

I actually got into an argument with a guy at work once over the pronunciation of "Planck". I said it was pronounced "plonk" while he was saying that the 'A' sound is long and it sounds like "plank". He got so mad at me he stormed out of the office - it was quite funny
