SPACE FROM TIME

 A

Here’s a bullet-point summary of the idea that space could emerge from time, based on concepts in modern theoretical physics:

🌀 Space Emerging from Time – Key Concepts

• Foundational Idea: In some advanced theories, space is not fundamental—it may emerge from more basic entities like time or information.

• Quantum Gravity Theories: Some approaches to quantum gravity (e.g. Loop Quantum Gravity, Causal Dynamical Triangulations) suggest space arises from discrete events in time.

• Spacetime as Emergent: Rather than being a fixed backdrop, spacetime itself might be emergent, like how temperature emerges from molecular motion.

• Causal Set Theory: Suggests that spacetime is a network of cause-and-effect events, with time (causality) being more fundamental than space.

• AdS/CFT Correspondence (Holography): In string theory, space inside a volume can be described entirely by information on its boundary—suggesting space emerges from entanglement and time-evolving processes.

• Time’s Primacy: Some physicists propose time exists independently, while space is a byproduct of evolving quantum states.

• "It from Bit": John Archibald Wheeler’s idea that reality arises from information, hints that time (as a sequence of changes) could be the root of space.

In 1990 around the world, most years of healthy life were lost to undernutrition, such as diarrheal diseases in malnourished children, but now the greatest disease burden is attributed to high blood pressure, a disease of overnutrition.36 The pandemic of chronic disease has been ascribed in part to the near-universal shift toward a diet dominated by animal-sourced and processed foods—in other words, more meat, dairy, eggs, oils, soda, sugar, and refined grains.37 China is perhaps the best-studied example. There, a transition away from the country’s traditional, plant-based diet was accompanied by a sharp rise in diet-related chronic diseases, such as obesity, diabetes, cardiovascular diseases, and cancer.
