Space is discrete, but on a very small scale that people who don't deal with the individual electrons don't have to worry about it. (The electrons MUST be in one shell or another, not in between.) On a larger scale, space then seems to be continuous, but then on and even larger scale it is discrete again. -- The Ravings of the Insane Maniac Sameer Parekh -- zane@ddsw1.MCS.COM
