I was advised to use a Homework forum. If this is inappropriate, please advise if you know the right forum for me to pose such questions. As a senior in retirement, physics is my 'home work' but not my 'homework', sorry.

Would general relativity (axiom: spacetime is continuous) still work if we changed the axiom to: spacetime is discrete (but each individual chunk of it is so incredibly small* relative to a quark or gluon that it makes no difference)? *e.g. 3D's of Planck length, 1D of Planck time

Thanks, gracy.

Hi, I'm Richo. Not a physicist but an economist interested in general relativity, quantum theory, cosmology, and cosmogony. Look forward to participating in this forum.
