Is time continuous or discrete?

[petm1]

Outward from a point is the only direction that energy moves from big bang to now. Think of big bang as a focal point of energy dilating outward, like a white hole. It is this focal point that broke apart each part a focal point of its own, making the early universe repulsive, inflation as all motion pushes outward against its neighbor. These focal points are what we measure today as particles, still dilating as single parts of our co-moving frame. A closed wormhole through time and the center connection we feel as our center of mass is the path to our common starting point of big bang. We are still riding this matter wave we call earth dilating outward at about thirty two feet per second per second, you need both space and time, a temporal motion that I do not see in space.

There is nothing static in our universe except as seen as a co moving frame, the atoms are not quivering they are dilating, every single thing dilates. The quantum of time is 'one' regardless of relative size. Planck is relative to one as an average in the present moment, If the atoms are dilating then Planck is too.

This may be of interest in terms of space itself expanding.

I would say that time is discrete because if it were continuous it would require an infinite amount of information to define the particular time of an event. And a universe can only contain a finite amount of information.

By the same argument, space is also discrete.

I think time is discrete. I think time is the vibration of the string itself. That's my work on the nature of time:

Time is what Kant called act of spontaneity. I.e. time is information processing, while space is the medium where information is processed. It's consciousness which processes information. Pure Consciousness is not quantized but self-consciousness is quantized. That is, consciousness thinking itself creates an appearance of digital Universe (phenomena).

I am discrete, I am my own time just as you are. Age is how we describe everything, the age of the universe to the lifetime of a meson, why would you think that time is not discrete? An objective look at time would mean any single thing is a separate part of time because time like the number one is dimensionless.

Mass is the past relative to each of us as observers, as a receiver I can not sense the present.

Space is the present moment we share as observers, the difference between emission and reception is the age of the photons we are receiving.

The force of gravity we feel as an accelerated frame, is all of us dilating into the future.

Time is the largest and the smallest common denominator, in the form of one, in reality.

Time is discrete but we use it an continuous illusion.
