philosophical physicist/cosmologist trying to understand what reality is. don’t understand fragile egos: valid correction is a gift.

Here's an update on things I've had going on. It feels important. I think this is a big deal.

Reality and the ways we perceive it fascinate me.

Not just “what physics says.”
And never what I want it to be.

The universe itself.

Given room to be what it is
—and patience to infer without prejudice.

That’s what science should always aim for.

The common idea that spacetime is the fabric of reality — that it even exists at all — is ineluctably false on basic definitions alone.

So how did we get here?

Cognitive dissonance?
Intellectual inertia?
A failure to interrogate basic concepts philosophically?

Does space-time really exist?

That idea has shaped physics for over a century. But when you look closely, it doesn’t hold together.

This article explains what goes wrong.

Eternalists — from Parmenides to Penrose, Brian Greene, and many philosophers of science today — have long relied on the false idea that space-time exists, taking from it a false sense of security that obscures the deeper error: treating occurrences as things that exist 1/

A second (related) issue:

Physicists interpret collapse using picture (b)—a naive Cartesian reading of a non-Euclidean geometry, described in one coordinate basis, projected onto a Euclidean plane, and then taken to represent ontological reality.

But GR only gives us (a) (7/)

Why is b always interpreted as the story? It takes a non-Euclidean geometry, describes it in one coordinate frame, projects it onto a Euclidean plane, then makes a Cartesian reading. I think c is a more compelling story, avoids paradox — and GR does not discriminate!! Ie GR only gives us a.
