Ok, this is at a much more deeper level in an *extended* quantum gravity
theory that isnt complete. Its not really standard QM.
Standard quantum mechanics, for example, deals with the shrodinger
equation:
H|psy> = En|psi>
H is a function of x and t. For certain condition it is true that En,
energy, takes on quantised values however, for some boundary values the
eigen values of the equation are continuous, that is any energy might be
allowed. In standard QM, both x and t are continuous variables, and it
was this to which I was referring to. Sure, deeper understanding appears
to show that space *may* be quantised at something like 10^-32M, but
this not really relevant to the level of this discussion. It a
quantisation that cant be detected. Its to fine.
