"To a layman like me, Lynds seems to be saying that time and space aren't quantized. In other words, quantum theory is blown out of the water????!!!?? That would be hugh."
It may be that he is saying that even the most macroscopic processes are quantized. Instead of moments in time, perhaps we should think of constantly changing vectors (this would still preserve the notion of causality and still allow for quantum uncertainty).

Space and time are not quantized in most representations of quantum mechanics. A free particle may occupy any spatial position. A constrained particle may have quantized positions.
