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

true
I disagree here
motion and time could be construd as synomymous but they are not.
for really the essence of any measurement of time is based on motion of the objects themselves , whether we look at their individual atomic structure or as molecules , and as well their macro-dynamics. ( suns , planets , moons etc.)
time in and of its self plays NO bearing on the out-come of any action and/or interaction by any of these objects , micro-macro considered.
for instance without any prior knowledge of an object could you use time ALONE to say what their behaviour would be ? absolutely not.
you must first understand the actions of object it self or objects interactions with of objects.( whether micro or macro object) then time comes into the equation. |
