Anyone remember this guy? He got a lot of press with his paper on time.

I admit I did not read the whole paper. It went over my head pretty early. But I get what he is driving at even if I don't get what it means as a whole.
It's a seductive concept to me. Time does not exist in points. Any mathematical expression of time represents a period of time, not a point of time. But since I am not a scientist I don't know if this has a profound meaning or not. I think it does.
Is the same argument about space also true? There is no true "point" in space, only a region?
Both space and time are infinitely divisible. It's hard to argue with that.
