swissgirl1999 Refer replied to the thread Undergrad What empirical observation supports the axiom of continuous spacetime?.I think that humans are intelligent beings, so, if, for more than a century, cosmology and QM don' t speak the same language, i.e., the... -

You say that there is zero obervational support for continuous space-time, but it is the same for discrete one. You seem to be convinced... -

Discreteness of what, though? Let's take the cases you give: Even leaving aside that there are arguments in the literature against the...

That's what philosophers say!

swissgirl1999 Refer replied to the thread Undergrad What empirical observation supports the axiom of continuous spacetime?.You' re right again, but why should it be? Physics (and science) provides the background for physical ontology. So my argument, even...

swissgirl1999 Refer replied to the thread Undergrad What empirical observation supports the axiom of continuous spacetime?.You`re right, I over stated and generalized and it may sound offensive, so I`m sorry for that; however, my point, to be more precise, is...

swissgirl1999 Refer replied to the thread Undergrad What empirical observation supports the axiom of continuous spacetime?.I totally agree with you, nevertheless, my point is about ontology and not engineering... Cosmology or QM may always use continuous...

Because it makes the mathematics easier.
