Sumario:The article informs that number of approaches to quantum gravity (QG), such as string theory and loop quantum gravity, are thought to deny the fundamental existence of spacetime. It mentions strategy for making the dependence of spacetime more understandable is to characterize the relationship between spacetime and a more fundamental ontology in terms of composition; and also mentions discontinuity between mereological models of spacetime and composition for physical objects.
