Physicists are making informed guesses about deeper structures that could explain what we're seeing in space-time without the commitments we have to make like locality, which is revealing a new world beyond space-time.

Summary

Physicists are looking for a deeper structure beyond space-time, making informed guesses that allow them to see symmetries that were previously invisible in space-time, and turning computations from billions of terms to a handful of terms. The future of physics beyond space-time is illuminating, offering an interesting new world beyond space-time and new answers beyond locality.

Summary

The concept of whatever that thing is beyond space-time must project precisely into space-time, resembling evolution by natural selection. It must give us back everything that we know and love in space-time, or it won't be taken seriously.

Summary

The Newtonian and Einstein space-time are a formulation of our perceptual space, while evolution and quantum field theory could be interfaces into something much deeper. Our theories will have their own assumptions, but they tell us more about our perceptual space and time.
