20659 | Space and its contents seem to be one stuff - so space is the only existing thing [Wolfram] |
Full Idea: It seems plausible that both space and its contents should somehow be made of the same stuff - so that in a sense space becomes the only thing in the universe. | |
From: Stephen Wolfram (A New Kind of Science [2002], p.474), quoted by Peter Watson - Convergence 17 'Philosophy' | |
A reaction: I presume the concept of a 'field' is what makes this idea possible. |
