Not an expert, but shouldn't "materia snapping to a Planck length grid in space" be experimentally falsifiable? And could this imply there is no grid or that space is truly continuous?
- PaulHoule 2y agoIt's thought the the "granularity of space" could manifest here https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Greisen%E2%80%93Zatsepin%E2%80%93Kuzmin_limit https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Greisen%E2%80%93Zatsepin%E2%80... in particularly it is thought that very high energy cosmic rays would lose energy by interacting with CMB photons and that if space had some granularity the effect might be suppressed and let us see more energetic cosmic rays than we'd see otherwise.

- mac3n 2y agoConsider that lengths (and clocks) depend on your frame of reference, so a "Planck length grid" at one velocity wouldn't be one at another.
