Nothons: Virtual Particles of Nothingness That Exist Outside Time and Space — Hypothesis That Existence Does Not Require Spacetime

Mainstream physics asserts that existence requires spacetime. This hypothesis falsifies that assertion. We propose that spacetime is not fundamental but emergent from a pre-spacetime substrate N0 — the Canvas of Nothingness — at singularity point $dT=0$. The quanta of this substrate are virtual particles termed *Nothons ( Nᵒ)*. Nothons exist outside time and space, with zero mass, zero charge, zero spin, yet infinite potential. When nothon density reaches critical threshold at P0 moment, spacetime metric gμν emerges. Existence does not need spacetime. Spacetime needs existence (Nothons).
