  1. Can we use differential equations to prove that space is quantized? Suppose that the smallest spatial step that we can actually take is one doodah, where doodah is a measure of distance. If we could find a set of differential equations where the answer or behavior we see using a smallest step of one doodah is radically different from the behavior we would see if we could take a step of one millionth of a doodah then that might be Proof that space is quantized and not continuous. What do you think?

  2.  @goos6005  If there isn't already a physical unit called a "doodah", there should be! Think how many more young people would go into the sciences if they could talk about nano-doodahs, nicro-doodahs, milli-doodahs, deci-doodahs, deca-doodahs, kilo-doodahs, mega-doodahs, giga-doodahs, and tera-doodahs!
