Harvey Brown's and Oliver Pooley's idea:

MINKOWSKI SPACE-TIME: A GLORIOUS NON-ENTITY

is extremely dangerous since it naturally leads to:

PHYSICS: A GLORIOUS NON-ENTITY

which sounds like Bryan Wallace's:

THE FARCE OF PHYSICS

So the cleverest hypnotist in Einstein criminal cult, John Norton,
urgently published a rebutal which however is not convincing:

http://www.pitt.edu/~jdnorton/papers...Relativity.pdf
John Norton: "These sentiments are captured more vividly in the
earlier slogan of Brown and Pooley (2004) of Minkowski spacetime as a
"glorious non-entity." This would make Brown's view a form of
spacetime relationism, although I will suggest below in Section 6 that
it might be more restrictive than familiar forms of relationism."

The problem is that Harvey Brown and Oliver Pooley CAN whereas John
Norton CANNOT explain how a long train can be trapped inside a short
tunnel:

or a 80m long pole can be trapped inside a 40m long barn:

"These are the props. You own a barn, 40m long, with automatic doors
at either end, that can be opened and closed simultaneously by a
switch. You also have a pole, 80m long, which of course won't fit in
the barn....So, as the pole passes through the barn, there is an
instant when it is completely within the barn. At that instant, you
close both doors simultaneously, with your switch. Of course, you open
them again pretty quickly, but at least momentarily you had the
contracted pole shut up in your barn."
