Abstract

Gravity, as foundational to current physical paradigms, is intricately tied to space-time curvature, but lacks a clear physical concept of space-time. This article explores the gnoseological and ontological implications of space-time, showing that general relativity leads to metaphysical interpretations. Super substantivalism is proposed, viewing space-time as the only real entity, rendering matter merely geometrical. The paper challenges the current paradigm, urging physics to redefine space-time or accept metaphysics as part of physical theory.
