But if you segment the flight into points of time, the apparent movement becomes a series of rests. So Zeno asked: Is time continuous, or is it made up of discrete moments? Such age-old questions have important implications for the modern-day field of digital physics, for which the notion of analog (continuous) vs. digital (discrete) plays a critical role when considering a reality made of coded information. Here, members of the distinguished panel weigh in with their unique points of view.
