This is in interesting question, one that I think has more in common with philosophy than science, but I can give my view on the subject.

I generally ascribe the an instrumentalists perspective, meaning that I consider agreement with experiments the sole measure by which scientific theories should be judged. This is in contrast with other people who say a scientific theory should also explain why things are happening.

Why do I mention this? Well because I view points in space and time to be part of the mathematical construct that we use to describe the Universe, and that they are not necessarily real entities. We can certainly not go out and touch random points!
