Okay...as most of you are saying that physics is just approximating the mathematical models towards reality and not actually describing the true nature of reality. As we are talking about '' true nature '' of reality now, my question is, have we(humans) defined what actually ''space'' is? ( here I mean the space in which all matter, everything exist and not explicitly that which begins after crossing Earth's upper atmosphere.)
We have many theories, models on particles and matter, but I have heard very little on space( for e.g. definitions like 3d, 4d space, empty region where there is no matter, etc.) But are those definitions enough to define the ''true nature''!
Don't we have to first define the true nature of the ''thing''(space) in which all other ''things''(matter) not only exist, but also move, collide, accelerates, etc.
So how space is allowing all those collisions, reactions, etc? How is matter able to move in space, what exactly happens to space when matter moves, or how matter exactly interacts with space, what are the '' laws of space'' ?
Is nature of space also quantised? Will its quantisation help us to define the true nature of reality? Are our space analogous to the computer screen which is formed of pixels? (Of course in the 3D sense, and also the pixels of space if they even exist then wouldn't they help us to firmly establish the quantum nature of reality?)
I think physicist should start making models, and defining the mechanics of space, and then argue on the nature of a photon. Only after knowing what exactly space is then only I think we will know from where does this particles come from and what their true nature is.
( Sorry guys, I may be going off the topic... but I think it was necessary to ask this question.
