  1. There is time in space, but our method of measuring time is taken from the rotation time of Earth and its revolution around the sun.


  2. yeah there is time everywhere but because of different space time curvature in deep space time goes faster than on earth.

  3. yeah u still age in space but in a black hole you not not age good question

  4. Yes, just like space, time is multidimensional and permeates all of the universe.  There is no space or time, only the single entity spacetime (which was proven by Albert Einstein nearly a century ago).  Spacetime consists of three spatial dimensions (x,y, and z) and three timelike dimensions (t, u, and v).  However, since the direction we're travelling through time ("into the future" in laymen's terms) is a linear vector with a fixed direction and we have no way of altering its course (only its magnitude), we only experience time as 1-dimensional.

    Spacetime is like the frame or grid that the universe is built on, and is indeed everywhere.

  5. Time is just a human interpretation of some thing we have observed.  

    We know things age.  We have figured out a measure for sun to appear and re-appear around earth.  

    So does this exist in space?  Well yes it does, but not the same as it is on this planet.  

    You ever seen those sci-fi movies or "Lost in Space" where they travel light years away and come back to earth, and they've only aged 30 years but the planet has aged 300 years?  

    Time is an interesting thing.  

    But really a clock is just a clock and it represents the cycle of the sun orbiting around the planet earth.  We reference it as time, but that doesn't really mean it really exists.

  6. Yes, but it changes in different locations.  Apparently if you could (you can't) stand inside of a black hole then you could look out and you would see all the time in the universe pass by in an instance.  But if someone could stand outside it and look at you, they would see you frozen forever.  At least that's how I understood what I read.  Gravity affects time.  So time would pass more slowly for you if you were closer to the sun. And as you looked towards others you would see them moving faster.  They would see you slow down.  Think of temperature.  If your body temperature rises, then people start feeling colder to you.  I'm completely not an expert, but a great book to read is "About Time" by Paul Davies.  He is an expert, and I loved the book.

  7. There is no time without change or motion.

    Some people (like Einstein) say that time goes at different speeds in gravitational fields or depending on how fast something moves, but that is absolute nonsense.

  8. Yes

    What makes you think that time requires the Earth somehow?
