Alfred001 Posted April 10, 2017 Posted April 10, 2017 I understand energy comes in discrete packets, is there evidence that the same may be true of space or time?

Yes we have evidence that energy can do but also evidence that it can come in any value, depending upon circumstances. Does this affect you question?

Strange Posted April 11, 2017 Posted April 11, 2017 There is currently no evidence that space-time is quantised. A lot of theoreticians think it should be. There have been a number of experiments to test the idea, for example: http://www.uchicago.edu/features/experiment_probes_nature_of_space_and_time/ If you search for "quantised space-time" you will probably find others. (If you find one with a positive result, let us know!)

Like an in between amount?
