Sorry Nobody, it's not like that. The Planck length is not an object - it does not exist and therefore has no gaps. It is simply the shortest measurement that you can make and is fundamental to QM but not part of the structure.
I have a suspicion that there is something wrong with the Planck mass as it's many orders of magnitude bigger than common sense would suggest from the size of the other Planck units.

Thanks Dipayankar;
Now if I could do the same with neutrinos. But neutrinos may actually exist. Thanks to you I haven't given up on them in fact I'm beginning to equate them with strings since there is little to no interactions and little to no mass. Same characteristics for both.
BTW: Dealing with length of strings, they are still theoritical particles and of theoritical length ( planck length )
From Wiki:
The basic idea is that the fundamental constituents of reality are strings of the Planck length (about 10−35 m) which vibrate at resonant frequencies. Every string in theory has a unique resonance, or harmonic. Different harmonics determine different fundamental forces. The tension in a string is on the order of the Planck force (1044 newtons).
Best,

Yes Dippy, a string is many, many times longer than the PL and must, indeed, have a structure consisting of something even more fundamental. The PL is about 10^-33 and the quarks/strings exist at about 10^-18 so there's plenty of detail to play with. My hope would be that the string is made of one fundamental 'substance' and the only variation is the length.
The current problem with 'string theory' is that they are trying to make the strings move through space and are endlessly seeking equations to describe this. If the strings don't move then everything is much easier to describe.
