Physicists have realized that spacetime cannot be the final reality as it has fundamental constraints, setting a boundary at 10 to the minus 33 centimeters where nothing smaller can exist within spacetime. This has led physicists to explore beyond spacetime in search of a more fundamental reality, discovering mathematical structures such as positive geometries like amplitude and cosmological polytopes.
