Surely this means that we have infinite dimensions of space, where the n-points represent points 1 planck length apart (although it must be noted that this would result in a matrix where all points were equidistant from eachother, and where there could be no gaps between the points.... in other words a plenum). Surely then, space is n-dimensional, which would lead me to believe that it is matter which is 3-dimensional (not space) and that the n-dimensions of space warp and curve around the matter, giving the illusion of 3-d space. This would mean that Einstein's statement that "matter tells space how to curve, and space tells matter how to move" must be right.
