Dale I agree completely. But... Ed Witten and Frank Wilczek both claim that their quantum gravity (string) theories will pretty soon be available for empirical testing . This could be our observation of actual fundamental space. This is because space is an emergent phenomena in string theory...

I am sorry Simon but I am afraid you are wrong on both accounts; SR formalism specifically does not take time as another dimension of space. Minkowski, Einstein's math teacher and colleague, and the developer of the Geometry of Numbers and of the concept "Spacetime" , devised the first...

Does SR enable the passage of time. Rietdjik(1967)-Putnam(1968)-Penrose-Maxwell and others, claim that SR proves Eternalism. That is; the world is an eternal (a-temporal) 4-dimensional spacetime manifold in which all events exist and the notion of a moving Now (a global hyper-surface of...
