If anyone is interested, I think some of the ideas
at my website, www.geocities.com/roger846, apply to
the current discussion. Briefly, the ideas entail:
o Something exists because it is completely defined.
That is, you know exactly what's contained in that
thing. This applies to material

The discrete space-time is a liquid. This explains why the space is
isomorph in all directions.
The one that discovered that the space-time is a liquid, was Xiao-Gang
Wen (Home Page: http://dao.mit.edu/~wen ). He has found that elementary
particles are not t

of our common efforts. Though, I did not go into them for the simple
reason that I wanted to avoid discussions that are not directly linked
to the topic.
