I disagree
space is the ROOM , allowance , for an object to exist , time has NO bearing on this ROOM allowance, or SPACE.
for the essence of Time is movement. and the essence of this movement is the actions and/or interactions between objects

Dear north:
In your above qualified disagreement, you use the word 'object', twice.
The definition for an object is 'some thing' (that may be seen or felt - an entity). There is no known condition of anything that does not move or contain constituents (molecules, atoms, electrons, sub atomic paricles) that do not move (Absolute zero unachieved and unobserved). Motion is synonymous with time; is consequently synonymous with space within which movement occurs.

(George Berkeley, 1710) ... lay the beginning in a distinct explication of what is meant by thing, reality, existence: for in vain shall we dispute concerning the real existence of things, or pretend to any knowledge thereof, so long as we have not fixed the meaning of those words. "All things come out of the one and the one out of all things." - Heraclitus "Reality is an illusion - albeit a persistent one." - Einstein "Particles give me a headache." - Ibid
