Is space-time fictitious? There is at least one pragmatic answer...

An analogy for space time curvature.

Space-time curvature The sun stretches its surrounding space just as a child stretches the fabric of a trampoline.
Then earth's motion is guided by the sun's space-time curvature just as a marble is by the trampoline.
Even though the analogy is colorful, its physical reality doesn't match the reality of the solar system.
Both child and marble make physical contact with the trampoline's curvature; and the interactions that are occurring on the trampoline make sense.
By contrast sun and earth are in contact with nothing. How could there be any interaction between non-material space-time (or nothing) and material mass?
Neither physics nor fiction
there is nothing

Hidden in the analogy is a precious clue though.

The constituents in the analogy are all of same nature, all are physical and all are made of material mass.
By contrast in the solar-system, space-time is immaterial while earth's mass is material!

Introducing an innovative yet pragmatic idea.

The innovation consists of a drastic declaration as expressed in paragraph 2 below:
  1. The occurrence of earth's motion is distinct and as real as the existence of earth's mass.
    Dear reader, before reading farther, you must acknowledge that motion is physical.
    You might think: "But I know that"! Then good for you! Please continue...
  2. The sun's gravitation does not act as a force on earth's mass as chosen in physics.
    The sun's gravitation instead interacts with earth's motion.
    Because the sun's gravitation interacts with earth's motion, the analogy mandates both are of same nature.
    We are then led to think that the sun's gravitation is made of motion!
    It just so happens there is direct and simple physical evidence that gravitation is motion.
    Right where you are on earth, gravitation is motion as the free fall of any object testifies!
  3. Finally, to be true to the analogy motion must interact with motion; yet that happens to be a pre-existing fact, see footnote.

Making abstraction of the abstract in favor of the physical.

Somehow, one's mind to start with, is reluctant to the idea that motion is what makes the earth turn around the sun and that motion is what makes objects fall!
That can't be! That's too simple! That's childish! There is no force in motion! It goes against physics fundamental tenets etc...
Somehow one's mind does not consider motion that one's eyes see!
Somehow one's mind prefers to consider this complex chain of events: mass creates force (or space-time curvature), and force (or space time curvature) moves mass, rather than considering only that one word "moves" that happens to summarize all that happens in reality!
Just acknowledge the evidence: one sees motion, one doesn't see space, doesn't see time, let alone space time curvature!
Both Newton's force of gravity and Einstein's space time curvature, in spite of their universality, are nevertheless abstract concepts with respect to motion.
All in all this author favors to base its own description of gravitation on the tangible entity of motion rather than on hypothetical space, time and alleged curvature!
The word gravimotion, merging gravitation into motion synthesizes both the language and the reality it represents.
And this is only the tip of the iceberg, there is much more in the concept of gravimotion... find out for yourself get the book pictured here.

Footnote: here are 2 examples of motion interacting on motion
  • Einstein famous "time dilation concept" as first witness.
    Time dilation, and that has been verified experimentally, coincides to the slowing down of a clock when that clock overall motion is increased (in a plane for instance).
    In that experiment physicists claim that time is slowed down! Yet that is misinterpreting reality!
    Any pragmatic mind sees instead that the clocks' internal motion mechanism is slowed down by the clock's overall motion!
  • Another example of motion interacting on motion, yet familiar to all, is the swirling of water while going down the drain.
    In this case earth's spin motion interacts with the motion of water going toward and down the drain.
