IMHO, there is only analog pretending to be digital.

Bucky did some research on microscopic bubbles and found out that the circumference of a microscopic bubble is actually a series of straight lines.

Sorta sounds like digital pretending to be analog. ;>)

Analog == Digital. Any distinction made in engineering is essentially artificial, as both formats can interchangeably be treated like the other. "Analog" and "Digital" are merely descriptive names for encoding formats that humans invented. The universe doesn't make this distinction -- it just has "information".

The only time Analog is not equivalent to Digital is when you get into the realm of the impossible, like infinitely large signal-to-noise ratios.

Maybe existence is an a/d converter.
