i am gonna fend off the counter-argument to the idea of "infinite resolution" in that quote. it is oft cited that the planck constant (hbar) is the physical limit of the universe. not quite true.
hbar is the physical limit on our ability to measure the universe.
that may or may not be the same thing.
A well-known scientist once gave a public lecture on astronomy. He described how the earth orbits around the sun and how the sun, in turn, orbits around the center of a vast collection of stars called our galaxy. At the end of the lecture, a little old lady at the back of the room got up and said: "What you have told us is rubbish. The world is really a flat plate supported on the back of a giant tortoise."
The scientist gave a superior smile before replying, "What is the tortoise standing on?" "You're very clever, young man, very clever," said the old lady. "But it's tortoises all the way down!"
—Hawking, 1988
turtles....all the way down.

Ima do you realize that there can be an infinite amount of space between you hands if there is no real planks space-time?
Any thoughts?

You felt a space manifold was impossible and you mentioned planks space-time and the issue of it being not validated by observation and could be incorrect.. So with respect to Fractal theory there can be an infinite amount of space time between your hands. with respect to planks space time being more a limit of our perceptions than an actual barrier.
Honestly you essentially answered your question and that by the way was very funny.
You make very little sense actually
