There is a more recent article (2011) of A.Meessen about Space Time Quantification (STQ) on arXiv [1]. I didn't read it yet.
The subject is not controversial. The theory is just revolutionary. It require to accept the hypothesis of quantum of measurable length. The quantum of length a is assumed to be 0 in actual general relativity and quantum mechanics. In STQ the quantum length a is assumed to be different of 0. This has huge implications. It allows to explain all elementary particles, their properties and possible interactions. The standard model is an empirical model that only includes what has been seen in experiments. STQ explains everything and can thus describe what has not yet been seen like Dark Matter. It explains its nature and describes its properties like the possible interactions.
So quantification of space and time is not a new idea and there is already a sound theory built on it. My biased opinion is that it describes the real thing. This theory is not to be confused with a voxel like quantization of space.
Publishing on arXiv boils down to find an endorser. A.Meessen has the academic credentials, but this is not enough. However I agree that it is easier than publishing in a peer review journal.
