We are so used to measure time in discrete ways such as hours, minutes and seconds that we hardly think of time as an uninterrupted continuous process. We say, time is ticking away and use the metronome way of signaling a rhythm as a felt discrete approximation of the continuous progression of time. The count of days, weeks, months, decades and years heightens our presumable, countable grip of time. We measure our heart in terms of beats per minute and evaluate the heart rhythm according to time stamps. We measure waves of the oceans in terms of how many seconds elapse between each wave. Of course speed is measured against discrete time, if we drive at 100 miles per hour or kilometers per seconds for rockets. However, time is continuous.
