I've heard that too but how solid is the evidence? 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.
I think there is very strong evidence:

arXiv:1109.5191v2 [astro-ph.CO] 18 Apr 2012
But there are loopholes in assumptions about how photons interact with
discrete spacetime structure.

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.
