Quoting the source: "A collection of points, such that between any two points there are distinct points. Classical examples of a continuum are a line, plane or space."

That which is continuous. As in the space-time continuum. Space and time are smeared out together so there is no definable interface between them.

Like watching ice melt.....it's hard to tell just exactly where it starts melting first.

Make sense?
