The fact that time and distance are quantized (can't go any smaller) gets rid of many of the infinities that arose when trying to calculate the situation where two point like particles got together, since we can't have infinite forces. If there is a smallest distance (Planck length) that two point like particles can get, then the infinity goes away.
