Is a Planck length really the smallest length?

Haael:

Any formula with h [or h bar] implies quantization.

By quantization you mean noncommutativity or discretness?
just discreteness.....like electron orbitals....


Vanadium:

There is no such thing as "theoretical evidence"....
I take your point, bad wording on my part!!

I checked that term in Wikipedia....some funny stuff popped up!!

Sure there is, its just the thought results of your thought experiments, isn't it?
