    "abstract": "We present a theory of discontinuous motion of particles in continuous\nspace-time. We show that the simplest nonrelativistic evolution equation of\nsuch motion is just the Schroedinger equation in quantum mechanics. This\nstrongly implies what quantum mechanics describes is discontinuous motion of\nparticles. Considering the fact that space-time may be essentially discrete\nwhen considering gravity, we further present a theory of discontinuous motion\nof particles in discrete space-time. We show that its evolution may naturally\nresult in the dynamical collapse process of the wave function, and this\ncollapse will bring about the appearance of continuous motion of objects in the\nmacroscopic world.",
