Events Take Place, Not Space: A Philosophical Perspective

An electric shock. A George Bush. A tsunami. A republic. A Himalayan mountain range.

Everything and anything are just an events taking place in this universe. In a continuum such as this universe, an event keeps happening non-stop, with its name changing with the perspective of the observer. Thus, the observable universe is a big, cumulative event.

Events don't take space. I am putting forth this thought knowing well that neither the scientific minds nor the laity will take it kindly. But to me it seems clear that events take place in space without occupying any space. When any event takes place, there remains no place left for that moment at that point. Overlapping or the simultaneity of events causes the change in event which is then known by different names though deep down it is a never ending event or say a series of events. Space however remains unaffected and unoccupied of an event or the series of events.

Space remains same as it was before the piece of event, during it or after it has happened. Space is not the field, the place or the void where events occur. The three dimensional classical space or four dimensional relativistic space as we have known so far is perhaps a multidimensional or probably a dimensionless 'idea' we get while observing a three-dimensional event taking place.

My grandma died in the year 1975 and I saw the event of her death occurring. That event is still there somewhere in spatial context. The sad piece of event, therefore, can't take place again, thank God!
That event is just about to happen for an observer X, 32 light years away from here. From my perspective my grandma is dead; she is yet to die for my friend X. Most importantly, she is alive as well as dead from 'God's point of view'. At the very place she died and in my mind, several events have happened post her death and that is the reason I can't really see my grandma live again.
Coming to the point, whatever has happened in this universe is not gone out of it. It is still happening from somewhere for someone. The events which are yet to happen for us have also already occurred from someone's or at least God's perspective.

How can then the infinite number of events happening for billions of years and the events which are going to happen for billions of years can remain intact in this universe without crowding it. The answer is simple. Events take place, not space.

Events in this universe are like two-dimensional patches of light and shadows in a three-dimensional room. Those lights and shadows can never fill up the room.
