Quantum Mechanics andĀ RelativityĀ theories, have made obvious how peculiar the nature of time, leaving nothing but paradoxes left in some cases.

Opposite of this, the entirety of Calculus has built upon an assumed understanding of time, where an objects position at time tt, is given by f(t)f(t), and it's velocity is dxdt\frac {dx}{dt}, the derivative of f(t)f(t) with respect to time, and the acceleration is theĀ second derivative.

This forces us to treat time as continuous, with any given interval of time being divisible, whereasĀ QMĀ implies that time is quantized (or quantizable), creating conflict between the time of mathematics and physical theory (which relies on mathematics to get it's point across).

While science may not be diametrically opposed to Metaphysics (unmetaphysical), it does not necessarily impose itself upon metaphysics as a source of illumination regarding the problems therein (and thus is only non-metaphysical).
