Abstract
We think of space and time mostly as containers, impassive and indestructible coordinates in which things are placed and events take place. Instead, we should start thinking that space and time are things, go together with things; more precisely, they happen with events. In other words, space and time are the way in which events themselves, in their happening, intercept and intertwine the happening of other events. Space and time are the memory triggered by every event starting from itself, remembering every other in itself and, so to speak, being remembered by every other.
