I don't think a deep knowledge of physics is what we lack here, at

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.
