Time vs Space

[rankin]

Which object appeard first, was it time or space. If they appeard at separate times, how long was the time interval.

 

[Greenlight]

my own thoughts are that space was first, but it was in an undefined state until time defined it.

Neither can exist without the other, this is because they are different manifestations of the same thing. Space cannot exist without a reference point which requires at least one particle, time cannot exist without a change, which requires at least one particle.

 

[Greenlight]

I think Black holes tell us that space exists even when time crawls to a stop.

Time appears stopped only to an external observer, the individual falling through the event horizon sees his or her watch ticking at the correct rate.
