As you say. What is your proof for that?
A priori by, by definition time is continuous. To the extent that a definition is whatever is commonly agreed upon by most people, you have no acceptable definition of time. By definition.
People agree on all sorts of wrong things, some like continuous motion, they are used to it so they accept it as a fact.
When are people, supposedly, used to 'continuous motion'?
If we want to delve into this, and discuss this further, then 'time' is, literally, measured, and observed, in 'increments'. Thus, NOT continuous AT ALL. 'you', human beings, even placed a label on the so-called smallest unit of incremented length, in an attempt to get used to 'time' and 'motion' being discrete, separated, and incremented.
But 'you', human beings, need to do this to make order and sense of the world and Universe, in which 'you' have found "yourselves" within.
So, one could 'argue' that 'you', adult human beings, are used to LOOKING AT and THINKING Life, and 'motion', is like the segregated or separated increments of pictures on projection film.
If you are NOT afraid to take this further, then please do.

The reality could be different, discrete, like frames of a film.
I have already asked you, previously, to PROVIDE examples of how it 'could even be a possibility', let alone before you even begin to 'try to' CLAIM that Reality and 'motion' are discrete.
But you will NOT do this. So, WHY NOT?

How could you be sure when you cannot rely on your experience?
The EXACT SAME could be asked of you?
But the difference would be that there is ACTUAL PROOF that 'motion' is continuous, let alone just a possibility. And, there is absolutely NO PROOF, at all, that 'motion' being continuous could even be an impossibility, let alone thee ACTUALITY of things. Or, if there is ANY, then you CERTAINLY have NOT "brought ANY to the table", as some say.
Also, relying on ACTUAL experience is FAR MORE credible than relying on absolutely NOTHING AT ALL, like you are doing here.
