: This question is much more general than you think. : What is the minimum distance an object can travel? : If time moves forward continuously, then there is no minimum. : If time moves in "steps" then there is a minimum, based on the speed of the train. : You see, that is like asking, before the train reaches it's first centimetre, what is the furthest it could possibly have moved? : To make a long story short, I don't know. I belive that spacetime is quantized. In the past people thought that, for example light (or any other electromagnetic wave) is continuus, but as it turned out they were wrong. I am not an expert, but I belive that spacetime MUST be quantized. If it were not the tortois will surely beat Achilles :) |
