Roger,
I know Brian Greene personally and have read his book, Fabric of the Cosmos.
He was a postdoc at my school. He is not a founder of string theory,
Max Green is.
His view of space is quite conventional except for the extra
dimensions of string theory

Brian definitely thinks that spacetime exists.

Here you go again. Monads are basically ideas.
The BECs are physical. No physical connection is possible

I agree with Roger on this one (except for the insults). I did not know

Why not? Spacetime is just the set of relations, i.e. intervals, between events. If those
intervals satisfy the Minkowski metric the spacetime is flat. If they don't the spacetime
is warped.
Brent,
According to Einstein it takes massive objects to warp spacetime.
Therefore a warped spacetime cannot be empty.
The apparently flat spacetime that exists
is due to dark energy, dark matter and visible matter.
Although flat, it is hardly considered to be empty.

Sure it can. What is mass? A relation between objects. Relativity shows us
nothing if not that. Earth

No, that's wrong. Mass-energy warps spacetime, but the Einstein equations have non-flat
solutions with a zero stress-energy tensor. DeSitter showed this shortly after

I'm saying that it is beyond empty. It is only the inferred distance
