I ask because it seems to me if it's true that would be a HUGE discovery, finding out that the Planck Length and Planck Time have no physical significance would be far more important than finding the Higgs Particle, but it doesn't seem to have made much of a splash. In trying to resolve the contradictions between Quantum Mechanics and General Relativity most leave Quantum Mechanics alone and try monkeying around with Quantum Mechanics; but if the evidence holds up and spacetime really is smooth then maybe they should do it the other way around, leave General Relativity alone and monkey around with Quantum Mechanics.
