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

How do we simulate a continuous system on a computer? Well, the continuous system might be described by a continuous differential equation but we on the computer it is a discrete version of the equation.

Think about how we would simulate humans living in a continuous world. We would have to make space and time discrete to model the continuous space and time because computers are discrete. In the real continuous world, the people there don't have quantum physics and stuff. But on our fake computer simulated world, we had to come up with this weird quantum stuff to explain our "discrete" space and time.

What I've told you must remain a secret. We can't let others know about this because it will cause a panic. Even though this world is really fake, from our fake perspective it's as real as real can be and having a mass of people in panic will cause misery that is real even though it is fake. I hope this makes sense.

What if this computer simulation is not ran on a penguin, but rather Windows and it gives BSOD?

fixed. Maybe more can understand now.

Scroll down to the first picture:

Adelie Penguin chicks in Antarctica, with MS Explorer and an iceberg in the background. The image was taken in January 1999. MS Explorer sank on November 23, 2007, after hitting an iceberg in Antarctica.

This thread delivers on a continuous basis.

I think there's some sort of consensus that there are discreet steps.

Has Planck been debunked?

No it has not, it's stronger than ever.

Didn't know that a thread could have a sexual preference, dipshit.

The idea of time is a figment created by our collective consciouse to perceive the inherent randomness of reality. Our figment of time is continuous in our reality. Outside of our reality, time may be both, neither, or nonexistent.

My mental translator reads it as

"this thread is happy, because this thread is now about penguins. aren't they so cute?"
