This book is a continuation and generalization of the author's monograph "Chronoartifacts of thermodynamics", in which artifacts (erroneous results) associated with the concept of time have been identified and eliminated. The basis is a new approach named Borgartonics, that is a set of principles and methods using the concepts: macropoint, dissipator, chains of dissipators, discrete chronoscales, chronogenesis, etc. The artifacts of space and time in mechanics, electrodynamics, thermodynamics, and special theory of relativity are examined and classified; methodological ¿clues¿ (judgments of philosophers, physicists and mathematicians) are clustered. A generalization of Borgartonics, Protophysics (M. Bunge's term) is proposed. In Protophysics, the following concepts considered as physical fictions are excluded: point event, world line, the four-dimensional interval, light clocks, light vector, relative and absolute simultaneity. On the basis of protophysics, fundamental and structural artifacts of Space and Time have been eliminated. The book can be useful for students, teachers and researchers, physicists, mathematicians and philosophers with a penchant for nonstandard thinking.
