Computers make continuous math unnecessary. More than that, it becomes a hindrance.

Whoa! There is no such thing as continuous math. Math uses discrete numbers. The universe is discrete and nothing is more discrete than a computer. Continuity is crackpottery.

I would love to see the experimental evidence that the universe is discrete. Otherwise you screaming cracpottery is kind of ironic.

All elementary events ever detected are discrete.

Not true. The energy of free particles can have any value within current energy measurement precision. We have discrete values because measurement is finite. This is unlike the energy levels of bound systems for example. We have no clue if free particles have quantized energy.

No, the measured values are discrete, and a free particle has the discrete energy of the event that produced it (and doesn’t exist until it’s observed, another discrete event).

Lets take for example beta decay. Discrete event, whatever you mean by that. Why could the relative direction of the electron and antineutrino not have any value? Any constraint/discretization on direction is information put into the theory that's not supported by experiment.
