The real world is continuous. It cannot be quantized.

The real world is continuous. It cannot be quantized.
- dragonwriter 9y ago> The real world is continuous. It cannot be quantized. I thought modern physics leaned more toward “the real world is quantized, but the quanta are small enough that things usually seem continuous to human perception.”
- harryh 9y agoHeh. Perhaps that is true. But since we're all up here operating at speeds far slower than planck time I am gonna cheat and call it continuous. For the discussion at hand it is true enough.
- pishpash 9y agoWhat a fatuous comment. The real world satisfies laws of physics. Your fantasy of a continuous single market doesn't exist. This (information coherency) problem has been solved many times in engineering and the solution is quantization.
- harryh 9y agoI do not have that fantasy. I'm sorry if I gave you the impression that I did. I have communicated poorly somehow if that is the case.
- pfortuny 9y agolike 32 bit fixed point continuous?
- r00fus 9y agoFinance is NOT the real world. Lets not pretend that stock movements obey some sort of "universal laws" or such nonsense.
