This is because they are quantum gravitational. > So if the Gamma Ray Burst results hold up and spacetime really is smooth and continuous then, would it be correct to say there are a infinite (not just astronomically large) number of quantum symmetries and the Planck Length and the Planck Time have no physical significance, they are just numbers in units of time and space that for no particular reason happen to pop out when you mathematically play around with the constants of nature in certain ways? *> As Arkani Hamed puts it, "Space must die."* > What about time, can space really be separated from it despite what Minkowski said? Time features prominently in Schrödinger's Equation, Dirac's Equation and even Feynman diagrams; you're going to have to go back to square one and rewrite the entirety of Quantum Mechanics without any reference to space or time, and that would be a massive job that I'm not certain could be done, I'm not even certain there would be any point in doing so, it would certainly make Quantum Mechanics far harder to use and its not exactly easy now. > * > The quantum fields approaching the event horizon, or on the stretched > horizon are pure Planck oscillator modes.* > But a Planck oscillator is something that absorbs or emits energy only in amounts which are integer multiples of Planck's constant times the frequency of the oscillator, however frequency is the number of repeating events per unit of TIME.
