Metaphysical Space

Exploring the Transcendental

At its core, metaphysics goes beyond the observable and

empirical, delving into what lies behind apparent reality.

Throughout history, metaphysics has challenged and

stimulated the human mind; I took this premise during this

work to uncover the ultimate nature of reality and our place

from questions about the nature of time and space in my

life.

Metaphysics* is a branch of philosophy that explores

fundamental questions about the nature of reality, being,

time, space, and existence. It is often considered beyond

the physical as it seeks to understand the deeper, more

essential aspects of the universe and human experience.

*The word "metaphysics" comes from the Greek "meta," meaning "beyond," and

"physical," referring to "the physical." Therefore, metaphysics refers to what is beyond the

physical, what goes beyond what our senses can perceive and our instruments can

measure.
