Existence of Space: Does it Exist at Planck Level?

[Anya]

Hi. I think there has been research about the idea that time may not exist on the very fundamental level of reality. Does anyone know if space exists at that same level? I have read somewhere that at the Planck level, which is the smallest level physicists have gone to, time and distance drop out of the mathematical equations.

I have read somewhere...

Read where? We can't explain what you've read if we don't know what it is.

Does anyone know if space exists at that same level?

Its possible - but its highly speculative.

Since we know space and time don't exist independently and we really have space-time if time is emergent its a pretty safe bet space is as well.

Thanks
