Is movement continuous? Suppose it is continuous, then movement of an object will need an infinite amount of data to record it. Our brains are finite therefore we will never be able to observe continuous movement. Also, we will never be able to build a machine that can record the continuous movement of an object. Therefore we can safely assume that continuous movement do not exist. Therefore all movement will be discrete and anything that move will move in jerks.
Then comes the subject of space. Is space continuous? It seems to be so. Space cannot be discrete because if so speed of light cannot be same in all reference frames.
Zeno's paradox of motion solved. space is continuous but time is discrete. Therefore continuous motion does not exist in the continuous space.
Length and time have very different qualities unlike in science fiction.
Three dimensions of length is continuous and time is not continuous but discrete.
No time travel, no wormholes,
