This is great. These are incredibly exciting new developments. There was a great one I read a few days ago about our conception of space as a continuum being an approximation. Space might be better understood as being quantized. http://www.space.com/scienceastronomy/080514-black-holes.html http://www.space.com/scienceastronomy/080514-black-holes.htm... There is also the idea of doubly special relativity, in which there is a shortest unit of space, which all frames of reference measure the same that is analogous to the speed of light being the fastest light can go and all frames measure the same. When I studied philosophy in college, my interest was philosophy of mind/consciousness studies. My papers were mostly papers that examined the philosophical implications of assuming space was quantized and doubly special relativity were true on theories of consciousness. I had to waste entirely too much effort arguing that philosophers should pay really close attention to the science when doing mind or ontology. I'm excited to see that these developments are unfolding. This means there is a huge space in academic philosophy to merge this new information in physics with philosophical theories about consciousness, spacetime, and ontology. These developments might indicate that once in a generation revolutions in physics and philosophy are imminent over the next five to eight years (assuming the academic philosophers can hold the circle jerks long enough to hear and grok what the physics people are saying.).
