This site is run by Nick Huggett and Christian Wüthrich, two philosophers of science working on the philosophy of quantum gravity. On it you will find archives of conferences and schools that we have organized, and news and media from our project.

Beyond Spacetime 
Time has only mathematical existence. Space-time is a model only, it does not exist in the physical universe. Space-time is not the fundamental arena of the universe. Changes run in Dynamic quantum vacuum where time is merely the numerical order of changes. More about the subject you can see here: http://link.springer.com/search?query=sorli+amrit+
