The continuous model of the universe is the most relevent one. Physics are unable to resolve any sort of bottom most primitive particle. For all intents and purposes, the continuous model of the universe is the most accurate. If you are implying that there is an essentially random element to the universe, that is a model that Einstein himself refuted. " I find it very difficult to believe that God plays dice " - Einstein ( loosely quoted ) I do not consider it unreasonable to maintain some kind of consistency between physical theories and philosophical ones. It is generally agreed that the uncertainties encountered in experimentation are due to observational difficulties. This was the point I wished to emphasize. We really are having trouble trying to find a limit to scale. A continuous function has no limit. This is what you might call a Strong Possibility. John.
