That is a really good question! The answer is: no one knows. There is at least one serious interpretation of QM that says that the 3-D physical space that we know is just one of many possibilities [1]. [1] https://arxiv.org/abs/1812.06451

Another author saying essentially the same thing: https://arxiv.org/abs/1812.06451 I actually believe that this idea has been rediscovered in it essence at least half a dozen times, going back as early as (at least) the late 90s: https://arxiv.org/abs/quant-ph/9605002 I think it's arguable that even Everett himself held this view, and there is some evidence that Schrödinger held it as well but didn't have the courage to admit it (because he didn't have the benefit of the Aspect experiment to support it).
