As per your request, let's take that convo here, mein freund.
So what you're saying here is, for now, we put aside the idea of a fabric of space time and allow only matter/mass to be taken away and therefore have nothing?
What about energy? Fields and such? I assume these too would be removed in order to get to this zero-dimensionality?
To get the picture about zero point theory one has to allow certain preconceptions to be put aside and dealt with later. Pre-conceptions about space time for example are similar to preconceptions about our photon.
If we have to dismantle every preconception along the way this discussion will never end or reach a conclusion.
However it is worth noting where conflict with those pre-conceptions occurs but carry on regardless.
I am not suggesting changing those pre-cnceptions but merely setting them aside to allow the jigsaw puzzle to take shape.
