GAMMA-RAY OBSERVATIONS SHRINK KNOWN GRAIN SIZE OF SPACETIME

So, this article talks about how previously, space time was linked to a Georges Seurat painting. Now, they are finding that although it is similar to a grainy picture, it could possibly be smaller than one-hundred-thousandth of a trillionth of the size of a proton. That is tiny!! This honestly has more to do with physics, but I figured it could go along with how we studied the solar system, and now we are working on Earth's structure. This relates because they are using similar technology to test this and to test how thick and dense the layers of the Earth are.
