    Between Snyder's quantized space-time model in de Sitter space of momenta and the \dS special relativity on \dS-spacetime of radius RR with Beltrami coordinates, there is a one-to-one dual correspondence supported by a minimum uncertainty-like argument. Together with Planck length P\ell_P, R(3/Λ)1/2R\simeq (3/\Lambda)^{1/2} should be a fundamental constant. They lead to a dimensionless constant gPR1=(Gc3Λ/3)1/21061g{\sim\ell_PR^{-1}}=(G\hbar c^{-3}\Lambda/3)^{1/2}\sim 10^{-61}. These indicate that physics at these two scales should be dual to each other and there is in-between gravity of local \dS-invariance characterized by gg. A simple model of \dS-gravity with a gauge-like action on umbilical manifolds may show these characters. It can pass the observation tests and support the duality.Comment: 32 page
