Quantum of Spacetime: Zenon Connection

Authors: D. Chakalov
Comments: 9 Pages. Dedicated to 163rd birthday of Max Planck, 23 April 1858.

The task of explaining the origin of Time and Continuum is strictly mathematical, but is still unsolved (Sec. 5). It is addressed with the so-called Zenon Connection, with emphasis on (i) the infinitesimal displacement of physical objects in 4D spacetime, (ii) Planck’s quantum of action, and (iii) the quantum of Time (chronon) interpreted as the atom of geometry.
