Are space and time fundamental features of our world or might they
emerge from something else? The Foundation of Reality brings
together metaphysicians and philosophers of physics working on
space, time, and fundamentality to address this timely question.
Recent developments in the interpretation of quantum mechanics and
the understanding of certain approaches to quantum gravity have led
philosophers of physics to propose that space and time might be
emergent rather than fundamental. But such discussions are often
conducted without engagement with those working on fundamentality
and related issues in contemporary metaphysics. This book aims to
correct this oversight. The diverse contributions to this volume
address topics including the nature of fundamentality, the relation
of space and time to quantum entanglement, and space and time in
theories of quantum gravity. Only through consideration of a range
of different approaches to the topic can we hope to get clear on
the status of space and time in our contemporary understanding of
physical reality.
