Yes ! :) shamelessly quoting myself : "My favorite theory about Space and time is the one from Don Hoffman. To summarize, space and time are parts of our interface to interact with other conscious agents , just like our senses of smell, vision, sound. But it is just that, an interface, created by millions years of evolution, and does not shows the true nature of reality, which could be completely incomprehensible to us. Like electricity is incomprehensible to a cat, evolution, which is very power thrifty, provided cats just enough effectives ways to survive and reproduce the way cats do. Same for us. this is very summarized, his ideas goes much farther, for him the base of true reality could be consciousness : https://youtu.be/oadgHhdgRkI and https://youtu.be/ds-7sMfJDUw "

I just watched his vid the other day on Big Think; very interesting for sure! I can see how that would apply here too.
