How would one (nonlinear) follow from the other (infinitely divisible)? I don't see that.

What I mean is, if a segment of time is infinitely divisible does that pose any problems for our common notions of how time flows? Could it mean time is static if we could view the universe as a whole? I am not trained in these things so it's hard for me to explain or think it through, thus my bad attempts at this.
