the most current thought is that the frabric of space is a packing of curved pentagonal dodecahedrons. Cubes are subset within the dodecahedron, so it would not be surprizing that cubical space models would work well also.
@theosophers ----thanks for the comment. I guess the whole problem is something from nothing. I spent a couple of years, reading nothing, just thinking about time. Einstein said it was only a very persistent ...delusion...or something. I concluded that matter is more or less a mechanism for the storage of the "actual past"---the relative past is a separate category....more or less irrelevant depending on location. I also concluded that the whole mess is well beyond my intellectual capacity.
Matter as storage of past events is insightful, I believe that I do agrree that that is a very satifying solution the the problem of material existence.
the Rabbi's solution goes like this, our god is the only one wh can create nothing, from something.
the traditional mystical insight is that before the creation, coeternal with god was the light without end. from this light he did create, but first formed an expanding space within the light which he called night.
We have much to discuss at Christmas
