Venerable One !

In my position as judGe of the Space Center Courthouse, a case was brought to me, which contains a part where continuity is mentioned. After reading the thread in question and some other documents I do have a question:

Is the law of continuity a law of nature or a law of culture?

I think that it is a law of nature like gravity, but I'm not really sure.

Thanx for your time

Personally, I would say it is a law of culture because you can't break laws of nature but the law of contuinity can be broken.

You are right about laws of nature, but can you really break the law ofcon. in RL???
Okay here in h2g2 you can break every law ... also the law of gravity ... but how you handle this problem in a virtiual courtroom?

Well, on h2g2 /everthing/ is either a law of culture or a law of the T&C. The only laws of nature a technical restrictions such as no external pictures in guide entries or only smilies in forum posts.
