I will discuss some aspects of the concept of point in quantum gravity, using mainly the tool of noncommutative geometry. I will argue that at Plancks distances the very concept of point may lose its meaning. I will then show how, using the spectral action and a high momenta expansion, the connections between points, as probed by boson propagators, vanish. This discussion follows closely [1] (Kurkov-Lizzi-Vassilevich Phys. Lett. B 731 (2014) 311, [arXiv:1312.2235 [hep-th]].
