The representation of matter by a tensor was only a fill-in to make it
possible to do something temporarily, a wooden nose in a snowman.

In the first place, we entirely shun the vague word "space," of
which, we must honestly acknowledge, we cannot form the slightest
conception.

It is suggested that the spacetime is a dynamical entity which is being
created in every step of a hypothetical universal time arrow, produced
by the "expansion" of space due to the
Dynamic Dark Energy (DDE). Two modes of
spacetime are postulated in this Phoenix Universe: local mode, in which we
have point-like events cast on a
perfect continuum, and a global mode, in
which the whole universe is being re-created. The decomposition of spacetime along the universal time arrow reveals the local mode of
spacetime as a horizontal component of the universal time arrow, while the
global mode is presented with a
vertical component in which the whole
universe is in a special ONE state called
Holon. The gaps of re-creation
are kept in the global/vertical mode of spacetime, and are physically
unobservable in the local/horizontal mode due to
the speed of light. This
new degree of freedom comes 'from inside' the infinitesimal "point" in
differential calculus, and is being dynamically collapsed to an infinitesimal
(but not mathematical) "point" in the local mode of spacetime,
hence the intrinsic dynamics of all physical systems along the universal
time arrow -- the phenomenon of transience, from one "point" to the
nearest "point" in the local mode -- is completely hidden due
to the speed of light, rendering the local mode a perfect 3-D
continuum. The holistic effects from the global mode of spacetime
begin from the macro-scale of classical physics, in two "directions":
quantum effects toward the Small, and
dark matter & dark energy effects
toward the Large. Thus,
we model the universe as a huge brain which 'thinks' with its global (and
completely "dark", in the local mode) Holon state by following the rule
'think globally, act locally'. The implications for
canonical quantum
gravity are examined with great details, by revealing the
two modes of
spacetime in Quantum Theory and Einstein's General Relativity, and
suggesting conceptual solutions to the problems and paradoxes hindering the quantum gravity of

Is it logically possible for matter fields
to produce their "time", while at the same time evolve in that same
time, as in ADM formalism?
Sounds like the familiar story from
Baron Munchausen, right?
What if the aether stands
] between [ the points
of the underlying manifold?
Are we dealing with
three kinds of reality: physical
reality, potential reality, and the
ultimate reality of the Aristotelian First
Cause?
NB: The only way to produce a 'moving
now' is by enabling the 3-D space to 'move'
as well.

the arrow of spacetime -- welcome aboard!
