Abstract
In this essay, I argue that spacetime has greater detail than is being taken into account and that this limited view of the four-dimensional field has been hindering us from continuing to produce advances in science of the same power and utility as relativity and quantum theory. A number of the mysteries in science—such as what constitutes dark matter and dark energy—would likely be solved if we had a better picture of spacetime. I describe how space may be a fundamentally continuous physical system with information in a digital form, and how time may be a quantum-based physical system also with information in a digital form. I further discuss how our reality is likely digitally based and how a discrete model of time can bridge the gap between general relativity and quantum mechanics.
