Is that known? It's an appealing idea, but bearing in mind that general relativity is very resistant to quantisation, I'm not sure I'd be comfortable to declare it as fact.

It's implied by quantization. There is a minimum divisibility of space (plank lengths) and objects (fundamental particles).

I specifically said that the resistance of GR to quantisation is why I'm not very happy saying that it's fact.
