C_J_H

I would say that's a false equivalency because coal operators (until recently) were profitable enterprises whereas nuclear lobbyists are generally concerned not just with public tolerance but public funding.
I would disagree. Thousands of that can only be done by humans are by many measures better than a single dangerous plant that produces the same economic output in a more concentrated fashion.
Wouldn't the new model dramatically lower the cost of entry into that industry?

It seems logical that if space is not continuous [1] and relativity works roughly as we think it does, time couldn't be continuous either. If that's the case the shortest unit of time would intuitively be the planck length divided by C.

It would be interesting if the 'wavelength' of time gave rise to higher-order harmonics that we could actually observe.
