Hi folks, I've never taken a real quantum physics course, so this question miiight be really silly, but here it is:
I'm wondering if there's any research going on or any established theories about time and space themselves occurring in quantum units rather than occurring in a continuum that can be divided over and over ad infinitum.
In other words, can a quantum particle exist anywhere, or is there evidence suggesting that it must exist at a quantifiable point on a space/time grid?
Or is there strong evidence or proof that space/time are definitely continuums where there's always a position between any two points?
Anyone ever run across any discussions of this or have any suggestions for things i should read?
Thanks!
