Few ideas in modern science have reshaped our understanding of reality more profoundly than space-time: the interwoven fabric of space and time at the heart of Albert Einstein’s theory of relativity.

Whether space-time exists should neither be controversial nor even conceptually challenging, given the definitions of “space-time,” “events” and “instants.” The idea that space-time exists is no more ...
