I'll tell you a little story about Einstein here.

I if I have a discrete space-time, and I you got you're gonna have to stop me because this is what I'm working on.

And okay, if I have a discrete space-time so that for every location, there is a definite set of nearest neighbors, of next door locations, right?

Yes.

then what you mean by a continuous motion.

Or what you ought to mean by a continuous motion is one that always goes to a nearest neighbor.

Got it.

So it could still move continuously in that sense.

It's it in that sp in that discrete setting, that's what counts as a continuous motion.

Now, Einstein, in uh one of his books, I think maybe the popular book on relativity, he's trying to give people everyday folk the idea of what continuity means.

And he exactly says, Well, continuous motion is as it were, where you always go from a point to a near next point to a nearby point to a nearby point.

Now, of course, in a continuum

There is no next point over, right?
