Abhinav, just a little advice. 

A lot of what you post is not really physics but metaphysics or ontology or
even psychology. Metaphysics about spacetime is still metaphysics. The key
here is not what the physical subject matter is — atoms, the universe,
quantum fields — but how that subject is being investigated. A scientific
investigation is wholly different than a philosophical one. 

I think you’ll find that if you focus on science and how scientists
investigate nature, and stay away from topics that are inherently not
amenable to scientific investigation, then you’ll get less backdraft.
