Earthquakes and tsunamis that resulted from the collision could have wrought havoc on the sedimentary record, causing discrete strata to swirl together and completely scrambling time lines.

由于撞击造成的地震和海啸可能对沉积层造成严重的破坏，使得离散的岩层旋转混合在一起并完全打乱地质时间线。

For those keen to know more: the computations involve "envisioning space and time as part of a four-dimensional crystal lattice, with discrete points spaced along columns and rows.

一点额外的话给那些想要知道更多的人：这个计算包括 “想象一下，时间和空间将成为水晶方格似的四维空间的一部分，不连续的点在空间纵横其间。”

Now I will give you not only the positions-- as I did here on the x axis - at discrete moments in time-- but I'm going to tell you exactly where the object is at any moment in time.

下面我将要给各位展示的-,不再是时间在x轴的,离散情况-,我要展示的是,任意时刻上,物体所在的位置。

It is very interesting to me because it's a discrete invention that happened in a point of time in response to information technology.

我觉得很有意思,因为它由许多组成部分构成,这些部分组合在了一起,而且都和信息技术有关。

According to Dr Ng, the Hubble observation says nothing about whether time is discrete or continuous.
