      Is gravity originates from an interaction of mass and distance, and both are quantized, doesn’t it necessarily follow that gravity is also quantized?

        We actually don’t know if distance is quantised- while distances smaller than the Planck length don’t make any sense with our current understanding of physics, that doesn’t necessarily mean that it’s the quantum of distance.
