Yes, space (and time) is discrete.  Everything in the universe is finite, and the universe itself is finite.  Infinity is a logically impossible concept. I don't see that "discrete" and "finite" necessarily go together. The integers are discrete, but not finite. No, the integers are finite.  There exists only a finite numer of integers.  There exists a biggest integer N.  It is true that you can construct the integer N+1, but this integer is not a member of the set of all integers. Because everything is finite, you can conclude that the space-time is discrete. -- Torgny Tholerus --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Everything List" group.
