A thread can only be about one thing?

And why are you just now starting to react to things I posted so long ago? Are you planning on responding to any of the substantive points I have made in various different posts?

As far as I'm concerned, the topic at hand is whether a quantized model of time can work or not. You claim no, about four different people have demonstrated that it can; many examples have been given.

Are you ready to admit that a quantized model of time *can* work?
