"The quanta can still have an infinite amount of points on it. Or calculus would not work."

Not true! Infinite may only work where it is not confined. We can have an infinite number of numbers in the symbolism of our ideas because ideas are symbols and do not occupy any space or obey any physical laws. However, you can only get so many M&M's into a confined space! And they would be gone as fast as you put them in. No matter how many M&M's the world produces, they always end up with none.

Calculus, and mathmatics in general, are not a true model of the universe. This was proven by Godel in 1931.
