As we know and define it, absolutely and demonstrably, yes.  Amusingly, spacetime is "more physical" than the concept of space itself.  The concept of space, of spatial relationships and reference points and tensors, could be applied to a philosophic vacuum of nothingness.  As in, if we had a cube of p-vacuum exactly 3m by 3m, there would be a point in the middle of that space, despite the space being filled with a conceptual nothing.

Spacetime, however, is both made out of and chock full of shit.

Why do you think that the option of "nothing" is prefered by spokespeople like Lawrence and Hawking?

Particularly since the idea of "something from nothing," isn't philosophically or physically agreeable.

Does our lack of knowledge of what may have been prior to the BB, make it safer and more logical to accept an absudity?

That last sentence leaves room for a surprise...I don't mind that, even though I haven't tried to accept it.

The last few decades of science has both postulated and found that the things we experience in the universe, are almost insigificant compared to other forces - mostly unknown in the universe.

One notion that has been on the table with many scientists for a long while, is
that matter is made up of components which are physical, but not measurable by matter, except by their effects on matter. It means that a correct theory could unlock all of it.

Maybe the poineers were on to something when they discussed the ether theory.
Their definition of ether may have been simply inadequate.
