It's not a completely ridiculous idea. The fact that we treat space and time as continuous, single-valued functions is deeply suspicious in a quantum world. It is entirely possible that space and time, like so many other things, are emergent classical properties that are really just the average of many quantum effects. Now we just need someone to figure out how to quantize space-time. People have tried, but we probably need to wait until we have better drugs.

If we quantize space then what's in between two space-trons?

Why are there so many songs about spacetime and what's on the other side?
Spacetime's mathematics, but only illusion and spacetime has nothing to hide.

Well, everything we talk about is based on human definitions.
Our categorization too.
Space is a measure of area, Time a measure of action
Both are locality.
But nature and the universe doesn't care what we call it or organize it...it's all the same thing.
It's not an illusion though, it's REAL
Just change your model and definitions.
BUT they have to fit the reality, otherwise our description won't work exactly.
Illusion...you keep using that word, I don't think it means what you think it means. 🤨

"Researchers at the forefront of quantum gravity have started to rethink space-time as a consequence of entanglement."

I have proven this statement: A computable logic that arises from how connections are made and/or broken over time. That is a complete description about everything about this logic, and it is not math. I believe only using entanglement this could be one dimensional logic that only requires the dimension of time and constant input to operate. The models only use one command, "alias" that only allows you to create a command or rewrite a created command to a string of commands. In my models that string only calls other alias created commands, basically looping all around itself only using connections. I have done if-thens, sophisticated do-whiles, a randomizer, a relational database and math emulators.

The simple calculator is easiest to understand: https://github.com/johnphantom/Dynamic-Stateless-Computer/blob/master/calculator_simple.cfg (pulls the text up online, nothing to download).

Is an "emergent property" that results as a consequence of other, "fundamental" interactions or components any less real?

Sigh.... I miss shrooms and decent acid.  Hard to find shrooms at 41, and the last time I did "acid" 5 years ago, 2 hits barely gave me tracers.

I read a book by Julian Barbour called "The End of Time", which was about time being an illusion.  It was pretty wacky.  I don't know enough physics to know how his idea is much different from "What if existence is just a dream and when we die we wake up?" kind of goofy high thinking.

But only now are researchers such as Leonard Susskind or Sean Carroll developing ideas on how this hidden quantum reality might explain not only matter but also the fabric of space and time.

Seems factual, but it's kind of sus?
