What? The idea that spacetime is quantized is most definitely not widely accepted. Spacetime is presumed to be continuous by basically every mainstream physicist (though most will admit that we don't have conclusive evidence either way, we only know that spacetime is not quantized down to a certain scale (which is short of the planck length by a good deal)). I personally think spacetime is quantized, but the only physicists pursuing the consequences of such an idea tend to be the fringe ones...
