"The fabric of space-time is a conceptual model combining the three dimensions of space with the fourth dimension of time. According to the best of current physical theories, space-time explains the unusual relativistic effects that arise from traveling near the speed of light as well as the motion of massive objects in the universe." https://www.livescience.com/space-time.html

Konrad Ernst Otto Zuse

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Konrad_Zuse

"Turing and Zuse had many similar ideas. But they did not know each other, they were isolated. It was not until the end of World War II that they heard about their respective achievements. And in late summer 1947 there was a mysterious meeting in Göttingen. British scientists of the National Physical Laboratory (Teddington, London) interrogated German researchers. Participants included Arthur Porter, Alan Turing and John Womersley (England) as well as Heinz Billing, Helmut Schreyer, Alwin Walther and Konrad Zuse. This reunion is described by the memoir of the German computer pioneer Billing from the Max Planck Institute for Physics (Munich). However, In the memoirs published by Porter and Zuse the colloquium at Göttingen is not mentioned. As all the actors have died, it is difficult to verify the story. At the moment, we are still looking for further evidence." https://web.archive.org/web/20130521211106/http://www.mathcomp.leeds.ac.uk/turing2012/Images/Turing_Zuse.pdf

"In 1967, Zuse suggested that the universe itself is running on a cellular automaton or similar computational structure (digital physics); in 1969, he published the book Rechnender Raum (translated into English as Calculating Space).^[15]^[16]^[17]"Ahttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Konrad_Zuse#1945-1995

Simulacron-3 was published in 1964 & written by, Daniel_F._Galouye.
