Is energy real or is energy perceived?einstein's relativity talks of spacetime continuity, and the inseparability of it. If you think of it in terms of space and time, then it's an illusion. If you think of it as a continuum then it might not be.to my mind, digital existence/ separability/ distinct objects are all problematical... same goes for energy blobs. We perceive each other as distinct bodies perhaps because of how our system works. With a different nervous system, perhaps we'd see one blob blobbing into another in a continuum... 😊
it's not a "continuum" if it has black holes; space-time loses it's meaning in a black hole. also, we don't know if it is a continuum (macro scale) or if it is discrete (quantum scale).
