In physics, space is a
coordinate system?
I don't agree at all; it's an entity on which coordinate systems may (locally) be
placed, and even that fact isn't central to what it
is, only to how it's
modelled in modern theories.
I haven't started editing physics entries, and I'm not going to start now yet either, but I couldn't let this go by without registering disapproval.
