since structures from sheets of galaxies, to galaxies, to hurricanes and DNA, highlight a fractal universe... a more complex relation exists, specifically, perhaps imaginary numbers are not *that* imaginary. (fractals come from graphs where one axis has imaginary numbers, aka, numbers where if you square them the result is less than zero)If we're going with bullshit 'trivia' questions now, then, is the universe fundamentally discrete, continuous, or some more complex relation between the two to be explained below?
just a guess
at the "bottom" (smallest scale) of the universe, i can see how things could possibly be discrete... with conway's game of life in mind, a vast array of bits could easily look continuous to creatures composed of 10^10^10 of those data "bits."
existentially, everything feels quite continuous, though, especially after several acid trips. everything is one, there is no true separation between anything. there is no boundary between, eg, a cup of coffee and "everything else," and our skin has no such magical boundary either... everything is acting as one system, and every piece is as "natural" as the rest... we only see things as separate because continuous systems of perception (eg our brain) use discrete information processing, so we separate things in order to understand them. but everything is sort of just a giant holographic net, with *only information* differing from one region to the other, as far as we can tell... and that differing of energy across the universe is continuous, as far as we can tell.
the egg came first. you can have an egg without a chicken, you cannot have a chicken without first an egg. ebola outlined the details.

what are holograms made of?
