"controversial" new model of time?

He makes the same mistake as Barbour : he starts
from the Uncertainty principles and then moves to
define motion. I worked the other way around :
first define where motion comes from, inertia, and
then accept that it fails at uncertainty.
Motion, in their view, becomes a Schrodinger Cat
like leaping. If you do not watch the arrow then
it can leap, and motion is not continuous.
The real ones watching the arrow are the masses of
the universe, and they scrutinously will subject
the arrow to Newtons Inertia, and Einsteins
inertial mass increase at high speeds. But for the
individual small particles at small distances,
they do not bother.
