Are there any theories out there that discuss the idea that space itself could be made out of particles?

I've suggested a question that I think goes some way to duplicating your question. As it stands your question is too broad to be usefully answered here. You might want to Google emergent spacetime or something similar to see what sorts of approaches have been suggested, though this is a speculative area with no well established theories. However I think it's safe to say that there are no (plausible) suggestions that spacetime is made out of particles in any literal sense. – John Rennie Jul 21 '14 at 07:31

1This question hasn't anything to do with the String theory. For example, answers about Diracs' sea of electrons were also acceptable here, but not in the "duplicate". This question was closed unfairly. You get a +1 as a protest against the phenomenon. – peterh Jul 21 '14 at 08:19
