The Physical Continuum

“...For physics there is a definite distinction between finiteness and infinity; whereas the mathematician speaks of the infinities and manipulates them just like finite structures the physicist with his real measuring roads is bound to finiteness. He cannot coordinate physical thinks to concepts of infinite structures; rather,” Hans Reichenbach "...a homogenous continuum which admitsof the sort of divisibility needd to realizethe ininitely smallis nowhere to be found in reality. the infinite divisibility of a continuum is an operation which exists only in thought"..David Hilbert 1925 the article is from my book 'the invisible world of infinitesimals , in Amazon
