Jan 12, 2017 at 17:54 comment added Abdelmalek Abdesselam Good point, but I don't know if the proponents of this hypothesis mean topology only.
Jan 12, 2017 at 17:20 comment added LSpice The 'texture' of spacetime is surely a reference to topology, but the various $\mathbb Q_p$ are homeomorphic (it's a countable disjoint union of Cantor sets), so that it's not clear that the texture being totally disconnected at the Planck scale would actually indicate that nature had picked a specific prime.
