I can't grasp your argues against continuous space-time. I think it
seems natural that when you throw a stone, it passes all point on the
trajectory. On the other hand, the question seems to be crucial when
we consider
quantum gravity. The main problem is how to imagine discrete space-
time. I mean we can imagine when someone says that momentum can
import only discrete values. But about space... As for me, I think that
this question is connected with infinities appearing in quantum field
theory. In fact, every time you try to find energy spectrum you have
to truncate an infinite summand. The superstring theory solves this
problem by introducing new continuous 6 space coordinates. The
question is opened. No one can completely answer you.
