Okay imagine a pixel in position x.
Imagine the pixel goes to position x+1.
Imagine the pixel goes to position x+2.
Imagine the pixel goes to position x+3.


Imagine the pixel continues going farther from x.
Now imagine the pixel is going really fast.Like really really fast.

Wouldn't that give the illusion that the actual pixel is now a line? (Don't mix it with persistence of vision) 
Ok so get this,
We get the illusion of a line(vector?) from a single pixel.

We know that a line(vector?idk) is continuous.A single pixel is used to give the impression of something that is continuous.
In computers this impression is given by erasing the pixel in position x and reforming the exact same pixel in position x+1,do this fast enough and we get a "continuous" feel.
Have you realized that it is basically teleportation that we are doing?We erase a pixel in position x and reproduce the exact same pixel in position x+1.

Raise your hand and put it in front of you.Now move it.It feels "continuous" d'nnit? 
What if it really isn't continuous? What if we are teleporting every single time we see something move? What if we are teleporting so fast that we feel that we are in a continuous motion?
So if we can slow down ourselves fast enough(slow the pixel down fast enough)will we see our past replicas? (Like how you slow down the pixel going really fast to give the illusion of a continuous line we see many different pixels?)

So did our ancestors experience time faster?And our future generations will experience it in slow motion? (Since the faster things move the slower time gets?)

Pool, just a quick note.
When you hear a waveform of an analogous device eg" vinyl record, it is a continuous waveform.
The same music via a digital format like a cd might sound nicer due to modern technology, but broken down, it is actually in "steps" or "pixels" as you state.
(When the cd first came out, many audiophiles suggested that the 16bit resolution cd standard may not have been high enough)

Basically what I'm saying is, is that digital information is unnatural at it's heart, whereas analogous information is/should be a true reflection of reality.
So to try to separate "time" into its lowest common denominator, you'll need to divide by infinity!
PS, Your algebra will either get you a great job or put you into a mental asylum! hehe

I just showed that the universe is not continuous.
What do i win?

I don't know very much about this level of science, but here's what I have interpreted so far:

Time is discrete, it jumps between multiples of Plank Time.

Matter/energy/etc seems to display both particle and wave-like properties, depending on the situation. Or more accurately, our measurements of these things act that way. We can't actually ever directly observe the things themselves.

Am I close?

You have just restated zenos paradox.

Imanago with no.

If you for example quickly swipe acoss the moon with a laser pointer from earth, the dot moves faster than light. But no information is transmitted along its path.

Crack's a hell of a drug.

You're all giving me the Leonard McCoy hebie gebies.

So?
What does that have to do with continuity?

Guys,think about it,open up Paint in your computer,pick a brush,hold down the left mouse button and draw across the screen.This is continuity.
I have a hard time converting the visual image in my head into words,so i'll draw it for you.



and then:


Now i'm just smiling looking at myself wiggle my finger and realizing that i've been teleporting all along! lool!!
