TL;DR
This paper reviews modern theories concerning the structure of space and time, focusing on discrete models, their physical implications, and philosophical foundations, highlighting recent developments and debates in the field.
Contribution
It provides a comprehensive overview of discrete space and time theories, combining mathematical, physical, and philosophical perspectives in a unified framework.
Findings
Discrete space and time are useful mathematical tools for physical models.
Relational theories derive space and time from fundamental entity relations.
Philosophical positions explore the ontological basis of relational space and time.
Abstract
We review some modern theories about the structure of space and time, in particular those related to discrete space and time. Following an epistemological method we start from theories which discuss discrete space and time as a mathematical tool to solve physical models. Antother theories look for physical content of the discrete structure of space and time, based in relational theories of space and time which are derived from the relations of some fundamental entities. Finally we present some philosophical positions who try to find the ontological foundation of the relational theories os space and time.
