    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 models 'cause they really work; I'm not also claiming spacetime must be discrete, I'm just asking why both models don't have the same approach on ontology...

    Undergrad What empirical observation supports the axiom of continuous spacetime?

    At the cost of making physical ontology incompatible with theories that claim that the universe has fundamental laws that differ according to scale; who tells the photon how far it can jump? If the space inside the atom is non-continuous, why should it be continuous between molecules, and so...

    Undergrad What empirical observation supports the axiom of continuous spacetime?

    The Nobel Prize-winning experiments that form the observational foundation of Modern Physics consistently point toward discreteness rather than continuity. I did not find an equivalent (or any at all) body of direct observation supporting the continuity axiom. Here is a non-exhaustive list of...
