High Energy Physicists Declare Spacetime Doomed as Fundamental Reality

MIT Scientist: “Your Brain Evolved To Ignore Aliens – They’re Everywhere!”
What was said
"There are many high-energy theoretical physicists who have now firmly stepped outside of spacetime. They will say spacetime is doomed. Nima Arkani-Hamed, David Gross, and others."
Hoffman cited leading physicists including Nima Arkani-Hamed at Princeton's Institute for Advanced Study and Nobel laureate David Gross who now work on positive geometries outside spacetime. These structures like amplituhedrons predict particle interactions more compactly than Feynman diagrams, with a €10 million European Research Council initiative now studying them.
