I enjoyed reading everybody's comments. I've been in a long conversation with a friend about the Mūlamadhyamakakārikā---a Buddhist text that argues that nothing _inherently exists_, including, presumably, space-time. I don't find all of the arguments in the text convincing, partly because it is based on a number of outdated metaphysical assumptions, but it is very interesting none-the-less.

My discussion with my friend went back and forth, and we eventually decided that most things don't inherently exist, including people, chairs, and atoms. We ended up on the fence as to whether the "wave function of the universe" inherently exists. Anyway, I captured the essence of our conversation in a dialogue that may be of interest to other HNers:
