At some point, you reach atomic lengths, then the length of electrons, then...etc. Essentially there has to be some standard "smallest" length, rather than an infinitely small one, because otherwise physics breaks down and you get paradoxes.Is there any evidence to suggest that it can't? (Personally I don't have the foggiest about this issue, having only dabbled in a bit of QM. Does uncertainty affect whether we can determine whether spacetime is discrete or not? I have no idea. Is discrete spacetime accepted theory nowadays?) The paradoxes just challenge our intuition rather than form any kind of contradiction.
