Spacetime May Emerge From Entanglement

Updated: 2026.03.20 3H ago 1 sources
Contemporary theoretical work suggests that the geometry of space and time could be a macroscopic consequence of underlying quantum entanglement patterns rather than a fundamental background. If correct, 'space' and 'now' are emergent phenomena built from information relationships among quantum systems. — This reframes everyday and philosophical concepts of reality, causality, and localization, with downstream effects on metaphysics, science communication, and how society understands scientific authority.
