Our continuous experience
The change is discrete. We however only experience motion between a change. That is how things look continuous.
Re: Our continuous experience
What do you mean "the change is discrete"?
Change is NOT 'discrete', to 'me'. Change IS OBVIOUSLY 'continuous', to 'me'.
I also do NOT 'only' experience motion 'between' change. I NOTICE the continual motion of change. To 'me', there is 'only' One 'thing' changing in way, shape, and form ALWAYS and CONTINUALLY.
WHY perceived 'things' look continuous is because they are continually changing.

I mean when you move your hand, your hand positions are discrete in space.
What you are suggesting is the classical regime, what appears to you, which is different from what reality is.
That is not the way things are.
Perceiving does not mean that what you see is real. There is no color in the reality yet you perceive it.

Suppose the speed of some object is continually halved, by firing particles at it to slow it down, do you suppose at some point you will notice its movement as moving “pixel by pixel”?bahman wrote: ↑Wed Feb 17, 2021 12:06 pmI mean when you move your hand, your hand positions are discrete in space.

I think not. Space is infinitely divisible, and therefore so is change.

To know whether particle moves discretely one needs a measurement with a high precision technique. It can be shown that the photon energy for such detection is so high that the photon turns into a black hole and change the structure of space-time so the measurement is impossible in the Plank regime.Dimebag wrote: ↑Sun Feb 21, 2021 3:35 amSuppose the speed of some object is continually halved, by firing particles at it to slow it down, do you suppose at some point you will notice its movement as moving “pixel by pixel”?bahman wrote: ↑Wed Feb 17, 2021 12:06 pmI mean when you move your hand, your hand positions are discrete in space.
