The Doom of Spacetime - Why It Must Dissolve Into More Fundamental Structures

Space-time and Quantum Mechanics are the pillars of our modern understanding of fundamental physics. However, there are storm clouds on the horizon indicating that these principles are approximate and must be replaced with something deeper. The union of quantum mechanics and gravity strongly suggests that "space-time is doomed".
