Continuity is only a concept,it's not practical.
What do you call the Set of numbers between 1 and 2?With the little cute decimal points?Yeah,that.
It's just a concept,it's not practically possible.What do you think happens in the set of natural numbers?Duh,teleportation.Discreet.
Teleporting from 1 to 2.From 2 to 3.From 3 to 4.From 4 to 5.Discreet.Duh.
It doesn't go from 1 to (insert all the numbers between 1 and 2) and then reach 2.
Think about it,if one had to travel from 1 to 2 in a continuous fashion one would have to go through all the infinite number of numbers between 1 and 2.Which means that it would take an infinite time period to get from 1 to 2.Duh.Which is not the case because i can move from my current position at time t to my future position at time t+1 in a finite period of time.
Tell you what,you do all the necessary math and we can share our Nobel prize.Sounds like a plan,right?
I mean,don't you get bored with doing the same problems again and again and again just in slightly different yet similar ways?Be a rebel - join the dark side,for all we know you just might win a Nobel prize.Why wouldn't Jesus just give me some mathematics :/ i thought he loved me...asshole.
*hides*
You start to sound like Salieri in Amadeus
But to move along an uncountably infinite number of points in finite time, one has to spend infinitely short amounts of time at each of them. That's what Newton and Leibniz' differential calculus is all about.
If that is the case then a movement from x+1 and x+1000 should have the same effect.Shouldn't it?
Edit: Effect as in,the same time taken...
