This simply isn't true. If it were true, Newtonian mechanics would also fail to be quantized (as you say, Newton introduced the assumption). However, non-relativistic mechanics (Newton) can be quantized, as can special relativistic mechanics with a few subtleties. These theories have the same suppositions about time.

Hypography?

Hypography [n.]: A combination of "hyperlink" and "bibliography" - ie, a list of links to electronic documents. Comparable to discography and bibliography, but not cartography.

We have been online since May 2000, and aim to be the best place to find and share science-related content of all kinds.

Share the love!
