> space and time can be measured, and they are not quantized.

Yet…

Because we do not have the formulas does not mean they are not quantized.

Again, our current theories all agree that space and time are continuous, not quantized. Quantized space or time are not consistent with either QFT or GR.

Now, we do know that QFT and GR are not consistent with each other, so at least one new theory is necessary, at least one of them must be wrong. So the new theory could involve quantized space or time - but it could very well not. We don't know at the moment, and all we know is that our best theories, limited as they may be, require continuous space and time (and other quantities).

Which is why we need new theories, and "everything is a wave" is a new theory.
