Emerging foundational analyses increasingly indicate that quantum-level physics does not support the ontological existence of relativistic spacetime. What has long been treated as a physically real continuum in the framework developed by Albert Einstein is more accurately understood as a mathematical construct—effective within limited regimes, but not fundamental to reality itself.
In parallel, my work in *Extended Classical Mechanics (ECM)*, developed since 2022, has consistently advanced this position: spacetime is not a primary entity, but a derived representation arising from deeper physical processes governing mass–energy manifestation and transformation.
Accordingly, it is no longer tenable for physics to regard Einsteinian spacetime as an unquestioned foundation. Its continued treatment as physically real risks imposing artificial constraints on theoretical development. A necessary shift is underway—from accepting spacetime as fundamental, to recognizing it as an emergent or model-dependent abstraction.
