@chemoelectric Action by simultaneous motion can easily be imagined, but could it not be a fault with the independent versus dependent idea of mechanised energy experiments? I’m thinking of energy being exclusively independent as in photons or dependent as in the projection of their wave like properties. In opposition to that, what matters is how matter interacts; so the properties of spin are constant across distances and do not contradict the relativity of time. Or to posit it from the dialectic of a philosophical standpoint, the abstract classification and reductionist division of sets is in opposition to the interdependent foundation of their categories. #PhilosophyOfPhysics #TheoreticalFoundations

The Void isn’t nothing.
In the Bubbleverse model, it’s a medium with almost frozen time — a background ledger that remembers, recycles, and slowly breathes between universes.

“Nothingness” holds memory and potential.
It’s the silent engine of every birth, drift, and collapse of spacetime.

What are the fundamental (philosophical) assumptions that we make about our universe in order to have predictive model of the universe based on the phenomenological evidence?

I can think of two:

1) Spacetime inveriance
2) Locality

Perhaps also:

0) Objective reality exists
