The discussion centers on the principles governing the movement of objects in space, particularly regarding the concept of Planck Length as the smallest measurable unit. Participants explore whether particle movement can be viewed as discrete jumps or a smooth transition, questioning the nature of motion and the role of force in determining an object's trajectory. The conversation touches on the implications of quantum mechanics and the uncertainty of a particle's path, suggesting that movement may not adhere to fixed distances. The idea of force as an external influence on a particle's energy and momentum is emphasized, while the exact mechanism of how particles occupy positions remains an unresolved issue in physics. Overall, the thread highlights the complexities of motion and the theoretical challenges in understanding particle dynamics.

Actually energy should have a direction heh, else the model would not work.

A sign (you can add and subtract it from a total) but not a direction - Energy is a Scalar, like money.
