Which came first ..time or space..?

Question

Which came first ..time or space..?

Answer 1

Time was waiting to cross the road when it got run over by space!!!   Just kidding...

I think the big bang was the beginning of space/time... that is to say both came into existance simultaneously. If you think about physics, nothing 'happens' without time for it to happen during. So you couldn't have space as we understand it without time.

Answer 2

they came at the same time.

Answer 3

Both.

Time and space are part of the same entity we call space-time.

There are 3 accepted diemsnions (length, height and width, in order of 1d to 3d) plus a 4th one, time.

Time is intertwined with space.

For a better explanation, see Stephen Hawking's 'A Brief History of Time' or was it 'A History of Time'?

Answer 4

this may sound crazy but ....

Does time exist ? Is no!

    The best way to show time is an illusion of our minds is to come up with an interpretation of Nature that doesn't include time. Einstein set us on that track with his concept of "space-time", which can be interpreted as abolishing or replacing both entities that are space and time

Answer 5

Without time one cannot move through space or receive information from other objects throughout space. Without space there is nothing for one to do with time. That is why they are referred togethor as space-time. Each is intrinsic with the other... one cannot exist unless the other exists.

We don't know whether the space and time really had a beginning so they might always have been, be, and always will be.

Answer 6

Space can exist without time.  Time is just a property of space and has no meaning without it.  I would say time definitely couldn't have come first.

Answer 7

Help me out with a clue - which one has feathers and which one has a shell?

Answer 8

space, time actually does not exist since time is the 4th Dimension and we are 3D

Answer 9

Space-time is a single entity so one cannot precede the other.
