space is the number of atoms that can fit between here and there
What about the space between the nucleus and electrons of an atom?
mass has 4 dimensions, so space time does as well
Does it make sense to refer to the 4 dimensions of mass without first positing space time? You seem to be begging the question here.

If this wasn't true, it seems to me that space would be infinitely divisible, but it's not. Why would the Planck length be derivable from so many other physical constants such as the speed of light? 2. no, i think it's everyone else who has begged the question by referring to space-time first because it is observable. fallacy of scale is involved here. It seems to me that what I'm saying is what the article was trying to do as well, derive the fact of 4 dimensional space-time from the physical properties of matter.
