It will be amusing if we find out that all the things come in discrete quanta, even space-time, which I hear hasn't been ruled out. Calculus and real numbers might not be sitting as pretty.
- wwarner 3y agoThere isn’t that much difference btw an integral and a summation.
- TexanFeller 3y agoThere are lots of corner cases where the difference matters, like when integrals with finite bounds can go to infinity where a finite sum cannot. Boundary cases and surprise infinities seem to be a common problem problem the theoretical physicists have battled in their theories for the last century.
