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 ( $N^o$)*. 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 $g_{\mu\nu}$ emerges. Existence does not need spacetime. Spacetime needs existence (Nothons).
