Because motion which begins and ends at discrete places would ( e.g. for Aristotle ) be incomplete.

The concept that matter is composed of discrete units and cannot be divided into arbitrarily tiny quantities has been around for millennia, but these ideas were founded in abstract, philosophical reasoning rather than experimentation and empirical observation.
