Quite right. It is increasingly clear that holographic theories imply 'space' has at least one dimension (spatial degree of freedom) less than we think. The Holographic Principle says a volume only has a possible number of independent states proportional to its surface area (r^2), not its internal volume (r^3). This means that what we think of as a 3D volume, is really a plate of spaghetti, with the number of threads proportional to r^2, but each thread actually corresponding to the same 'place', with instant state changes along its whole non 'length', appearing as non-local correlations to our dimensionally ambitious eyes. The limitation of the number of threads to r^2 might be because they all have to puncture the surface to create the appearance of a volume in the first place. The theory of Loop Quantum Gravity can even generate a discrete spectrum of area values in response to various meshed (graph) 'edges' puncturing a topological surface. Geometry is quantized. QM is obviously an incomplete theory, and there is no point repeating the philosophical arguments of the 20th century, ad nauseam. In the 21st century, physicists are beginning to put together new theories of quanta, space, time and gravity that will be a lot more coherent and satisfying, even though we will lose the cherished notion of locality. The Dining Philosophers should stop arguing over the forks and start to discuss the spaghetti! P.S. Douglas Adams was right, it's The Great Spaghetti Monster after all.
