Theorem: Spacetime is discrete
By way of contradiction, suppose Spacetime was continuous.
Then there would exist some object with width less than the planck length. But this is a contradiction to the idea that the planck length is the smallest length in the universe. Thus, space is discrete. By relativity, time is discrete. Pic related
