In summary: Do 'instantaneous presents' exist? I thought Zeno (and more recently Peter Lynds) showed us that they didn't?Arh... didn't see that... can you tell me more about it? Briefly the argument is that if spacetime is a continuum then 'instants' are infinitessimals and don't exist. There is just Hypnagogue's 'specious present' (which is not made out of instants).Where do you get that points don't exist in a continuum ("infinitesimals" is a red herring)? Th3e curve in the plane intersects points and it's perfectly reasonable to ask _which_ points. That's the
