Spacetime might not be doomed after all

Description

Popular wisdom amongst theoretical physicists says that spacetime is probably not a fundamental entity of nature, but rather an emergent one. While most arguments to support that view arise from very speculative ideas (usually related to attempts to understand gravity at the quantum level), the argument can also be made by only invoking standard physics. In this manuscript, I shall argue that a novel theory of relativity -- which simply follows the three basic principles that Einstein invoked as the building blocks of his theory of general relativity -- might change the deal.
