There may be other possible laws of physics and Hamiltonians where position and momentum are on an equal footing./nSpecial relativity suggests that space and time are on an equal footing in a four-dimensional spacetime./nSpace and time in relativity do not have objective reality and are not absolute./nIn Newtonian mechanics, space and time are separate entities, but in relativity, they are unified in spacetime./nThere is no absolute consensus on how to divide spacetime into space and time due to the lack of objective reality.
