since the world is discrete does it mean we live in a voxel world?
like minecraft but with very very small cubes that interact by gravity etc?

Well, not entirely. Save for getting into a quantum-level discussion, sub-atomic particles tend to be more spherical than square shaped. So, no.

actually any videogame is discrete

it's not exactly discrete.

The energy levels for electrons are discrete, but as you go to infinity from an atom or molecule, there are more energy levels. If you get close to an atom, you can only be certain distances away -- but you can be anywhere around the atom (all around it, more than likely).

So, the world itself isn't discrete per-se, but parts of it are, particularly your energy levels.

Why is every thread started with that picture a shitty troll thread?

Yes, every single one of them. That picture should be made a fucking autoban.

You'll have to take my word for it when I say that the one thread I made with that picture was not shitty nor for trolling purposes.
Enough appeal to probability already.
