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

Search about virtual particles, it's (hypothetically) is less than Planck's Length.

So you iz saying time exist solely through reverse osmosis within a thread that sparks as one of two tip endings hits from plank to plank but there doesn’t necessarily need to be any outlet connection. Just greater power at the ending or sub regional grounding. Therefore energy isn’t necessarily weakening but strengthening. Nor is space continuous at some point it must solidify. As all the debris from Big Bang moves in a foam like mechanism.

Why?

No. The continuity of space would not imply the existence of a smaller than x object. The axes may be continuous but the units discrete. One notes too that your argument is violated if things are not integer multiples of your minimum unit length.

The Planck length is a limit on what can be measured, not on what can exist. Do there exist "immeasurable" lengths? Quite possibly. The radius of an electron gives a good example. We often say the radius is zero but we mean is that the radius is smaller than what we can measure.

Yeah. I don't know how this term even caught on, it's just perturbations of the quantum fields and the assignment of "virtual particles" is just due to the perturbation theory where you start to sum over what looks like virtual states, but this shit is just an approximation of the more complicated physical mechanism which is that when two well defined quantum field excitations (i.e. particles) interact, they wobble both fields, from this wobble some other well defined excitations might propagate further, but somehow progressively separating the wobble and calling it virtual particles is just absolute pants on head tier retarded.

Every single fundamental particle is smaller than a Planck length you retard. Goddammit pick up a physics book finally.
