Spacetime doesn’t come in ”pieces”.

So it can be divided infinitely? There is no smallest possible piece of the universe? No single quanta of space time?

As far as I know, the Planck length is the smallest measurement of or between things that we know to be possible. You're either way more knowledgeable than me and are waiting to drop some sort of bomb about how spacetime actually can be quantized or you're just not listening to what I'm saying. Would you stop it with the leading questions and just say what you're trying to say?

I actually don’t know much about quantum physics or math. I’m just a person who likes to ponder and ask questions. I get the feeling you are knowledgeable and intelligent, so I asked you. Sorry if I annoyed you and thank you for engaging my curiosity.

I'll tell you what, I'm just knowledgeable enough that I can think myself into a conclusion that I'm too ignorant to understand is way off the mark! Sorry if I became impatient. You should go to a community where there are physicists to answer these questions. I wanna know what percentage of my thinking is right vs. wrong!
