Take the universe and grind it down to the finest powder and sieve it through the finest sieve and then show me one atom of time, one molecule of velocity. Oh wait...
Yeah, with "atoms of threeness" Eliezer seems to have narrowly missed an interesting point. Multiplying apples to get square apples makes no sense, but if we'd divided them instead, we'd notice that the universe contains dimensionless constants - if the universe can be said to "contain" anything at all, like atoms or velocity.
