If I look at 'DTG' I could see some kind of faint resemblance of 
'spacetime' a la Minkowski (and that is an idea I try to promote.)


But I had always avoided the problem to find out, what that might 
actually be: spacetime???

My current approach is:

you can split 'nothing at all' into two opposing components. Then one 
component develops into one direction we call 'positive', while the 
other goes into the other direction (called 'negative').

(Both together add to zero)

The positive direction is called 'timelike'.

But the direction 'positive' is a question of the point of view.

IOW: observed from the negative side the direction 'positive' is 
actually negative.

The nothings splits then into two 'universes' and one is ours.

The opposing universe is actually there and passes right through 
everything, but invisible.
