On the role of infinity in physics: comparing continuous to discrete and hyperfinite models
In this project we compare the ordinary models in physics with two alternatives: discrete and finite models (without infinities and without continuity) and 'hyperfinite' models (based on the non-standard analysis, which offers an alternative formalization of infinity and continuity) .
