No, it's still discrete.

There are not infinite anything.

how?

As in "Our assumption amounts to saying that in an electrostatic
system Z, moving with a velocity v, all electrons {and atoms} are
flattened ellipsoids with their smaller axis in the direction of
motion." H. A. lorentz

In Einstein's SR there IS a flattening of atoms in the direction of v,
with respect to the aether, so there is a contraction of everything
made of those atoms, including rulers. Otherwise the LTE won't work!

I have tried to avoid it up to now, but since the faster an object
moves with respect to the aether, the more aether pressure there is
exerted on the object, it looks like the contraction is physical.

In SR there is no flattening of atoms (and there is no absolute
speed); however, relatively moving observers will measure them as
being 'flatter' using their synchronized clocks and rulers. >


In Einstein's SR there IS a flattening of atoms in the direction of v,
so ther is a contraction of everything made of those atoms, including
rulers. Otherwise the LTE won't work!

Still 100. Its probability doesn't weih its magnitude. Expectation
is a product of magnitude and probability and will trend toward its
weiht over many bouts, but can't output its weiht for one bout any
more than a household has one-fifth of a kid.
