Now, this is cool.
I was wondering when we’d get some interesting results from observational testing into whether time and space were themselves quantized.

If time and space are quantized, then that could be because we are locked into some very large scale virtual reality simulator.
It's all pixels and clock cycles! Integral is just finding out that we're in a higher res simulator than we had originally thought.

They have to be quantized because a photon travels even sometimes tens of billions of miles remaining always in the present of the moment it was formed.
As one famous freeper has put it, (paraphrasing) 'in the absence of time physical events cannot occur, and in the absence of space physical things do not exist.'

(Some, believing they can't be deceived, it's nigh impossible to convince them when they're deceived.)
