> Scientists believe that time is continuous, not discrete—roughly speaking, they believe that it does not progress in "chunks," but rather "flows," smoothly and continuously.
The jury may still be out on that. A few of the quantum gravity theories (like loop quantum gravity, causal dynamical triangulation, or causal sets) propose a discrete spacetime as a consequence of background independence.
