When physicists say that space-time “exists,” they are often working within a framework that has quietly blurred the line between existence and occurrence.
Is space-time structure, substance or metaphor?
What does it really mean to say that space-time exists? What kind of thing is it? Does it exist in the same way the galaxy exists?
