Abstract
Two and a half thousand years ago the ancient atomists made a suggestion that space has a cellular structure, is material and consists of elementary cells. In 1900 Plank found the elementary length L*=10-33 cm. This notion has been widely used in modern physics ever since. The properties of granular space are studied in this article on the assumption that a three-dimensional material cell with the size of Planck’s elementary length is the only material for the construction of the whole Universe. This approach allows one to account for such mysterious phenomena as inertia, ultimate velocity of transfer of material body interactions and huge difference between gravitational and Coulomb forces - the so called “Large Numbers Problem”, as well essence of electric charge and Pauli exclusions principle.

The concept of space is one of the most important conceptions forming the system of our knowledge.Is the space infinite or not? Is it just a relation between material bodies or does it exist independently? Is the space a container for matter observable even in the absence of material bodies? Is the space uniform from one point to another or are there some selected directions? Is it neutral or does it direct bodies inside it? Do we know its properties intuitively without any external influence on our brain or do we acquire these properties from experience? These are the questions made in different times with respect to a phenomenon named space.The conception of discreteness is as old as that of continuity
The entropy of the black hole acquires quite a transparent physical meaning – it is equal to the number of elementary cells forming the surface of this object: S
In our work “Gravitational levels and the Problem of Microwave Background” we found out that the gravitational levels of the Earth are responsible for the formation of quasi-black-body radiation near the Earth with T 2.7 K which is competitive with the “relict” radiation hypothesis
Summary
The concept of space is one of the most important conceptions forming the system of our knowledge. We suppose that the meaning of the Plank length L* lies in the fact that physical space has a cellular structure and consists of material three-dimensional cells with the size of L* 10 33 cm. We suppose that eternal, invariable, primary matter- protomatter - exists in the form of an elementary cell of the size of fundamental length L*. The entropy of the black hole acquires quite a transparent physical meaning – it is equal to the number of elementary cells forming the surface of this object:. A mysterious and amazing quantity - entropy - appears to be connected with the structure of space Further on, this fact will help us to see the reason of irreversibility of physical processes though all conservation laws are convertible in time. “The arrow of time” will be considered in more detail in our subsequent papers
