It resulted from the big bang. Time and space and matter and energy all started then. What existed before and why it occurred is for the philosophers to ponder. I'm content with the fact that we don't know everything right now. We might someday though.

In all actuality, your question makes no sense.  If you were to take out all the "space" in matter, there would be no matter.  Matter is basically made out of energy and forces interacting with each other.  If you compressed the universe into the size of a refrigerator, you wouldn't have matter anymore.

Space has been an interest for philosophers and scientists for much of human history, and hence it is difficult to provide an uncontroversial and clear definition outside of specific defined contexts. Disagreement exists on whether space itself can be measured or is part of the measuring system. The term is also used somewhat differently in different fields of study. Many fields use an operational definition in which the units of measurement are defined.\n\nSpace is one of the few fundamental quantities in physics, meaning that it cannot be defined via other quantities because there is nothing more fundamental known at present. Thus, similar to the definition of other fundamental quantities (like time and mass), space is defined via measurement. Currently, the standard space interval, called a standard meter or simply meter, is defined as the distance traveled by light in a vacuum during a time interval of 1/299792458 of a second (exact). This definition coupled with present definition of time makes our space-time to be Minkowski space and makes special relativity theory to be absolutely correct by definition.\n\nIn classical physics, space is a three-dimensional Euclidean space where any position can be described using three coordinates. Special and general relativity uses spacetime rather than space; spacetime is modeled as a four-dimensional space (with the time axis being imaginary in special relativity and real in general relativity, and currently there are many theories which use more than 4-dimensional spaces (both real and complex).\n\nBefore Einstein's work on relativistic physics, time and space were viewed as independent dimensions. Einstein's have shown that due to relativity of motion our space and time can be mathematically combined into one symmetric object -spacetime. (Distances in space or in time separately are not invariant versus Lorentz coordinate transformations, but distances in Minkowski spacetime are - which justifies the name).\n\nThe measurement of physical space has long been important. Geometry, the name given to the branch of mathematics which measures spatial relations, was popularised by the ancient Greeks, although earlier societies had developed measuring systems. The International System of Units, (SI), is now the most common system of units used in the measuring of space, and is almost universally used within science.\n\nGeography is the branch of science concerned with identifying and describing the Earth, utilising spatial awareness to try and understand why things exist in specific locations. Cartography is the mapping of spaces to allow better navigation, for visualisation purposes and to act as a locational device. Astronomy is the science involved with the observation, explanation and measuring of objects in outer space.\n\nSpace in philosophy\n\nSpace has a range of definitions.\n\nOne view of space is that it is part of the fundamental structure of the universe, a set of dimensions in which objects are separated and located, have size and shape, and through which they can move. \nA contrasting view is that space is part of a fundamental abstract mathematical conceptual framework (together with time and number) within which we compare and quantify the distance between objects, their sizes, their shapes, and their speeds. In this view space does not refer to any kind of entity that is a "container" that objects "move through". \nThese opposing views are relevant also to definitions of time. Space is typically described as having three dimensions, and that three numbers are needed to specify the size of any object and/or its location with respect to another location. Modern physics does not treat space and time as independent dimensions, but treats both as features of spacetime – a conception that challenges intuitive notions of distance and time.\n\nAn issue of philosophical debate is whether space is an ontological entity itself, or simply a conceptual fr

There is no "outskirt" to the universe-Each point is the center, just as every point on the surface of a sphere is a center.  One of the primary engines of motion is gravity, which is a warping of space/time.  There is a "thing" we call space/time, which has certain properties, but not necessarily substance (as mass, for example).  According to current theory, at the sub-quantum level, there is a bubbling of space/time in which energy is created and destroyed, but it exactly evens out-the "zero-point" energy.  So, yes, there is a thing called space-time which allows things to exist, but no, there is no outskirts of the universe.

In Einstein's own words: "Although sitting next to a pretty girl for an hour feels like a minute, placing one's hand on a hot stove for a minute feels like an hour."\n\nThat is relativity.\n\nIf you look it up on the internet I am sure you can find a lot of sources.

I think space is the container for the matter which makes up everything.  I also think there is more than one container which could potentially be parallel dimensions or other worlds with differenet physical rules.  I think the path to these other worlds lies in what is known as a black hole.  They say the universe is infinite so maybe there are an infinite number of containers which would mean they would never run out and have always existed.  Also, time may not me restriced to how we view it.  Our lives may be just a blink to other worlds or almost infinite to others.  There is no possible way to explain it definately, it is all speculation and beliefs.  One way to expalin it is with religion, but what is religion?  A belief in a greater being with absolute control? Or the belief that the "big bang" theory exists?  They are one in the same a belief nothing more.

What a debatable query! Very much suited to my interests. :)\n\n            First things first. Doorman proposed a fabrication that amused me. My beloved, time can bear itself in energy, yet memory hold itself solitary in such consideration. Memory is another term one is to consider in terms of biological structures, not energy. Were time to store itself in such energy one to explode by the time they get old XP. Yet your proposition holds itself true in one aspect. We forget. Like we lose energy. Yet memory holds itself in alliance to life, an indescribable, unphysical term.\n\n            Now for my proposal. We bear to our knowledge the sphere of our vision. What we see, we believe. Yet we go on FORWARD in time. Like a fluid. Space-Time-Continuum...\n\n            In accordance to one of Einstein's theory, the time holds itself in a stretch of another dimension all together. We know so much of time, yet in reality we know N-O-T-H-I-N-G.\n\n           Ask me why? The answer bears itself in utmost simplicity. We can only conclude on matters we are able perceive in correct mannerism. We do not bear such a sense organ nor are we able to implement over 4% of our brain, so as to perceive the concept of time in proper ideology. Therefore we cannot forge a concept concrete enough to bear the yoke of your question.\n\n          Yet we can ALWAYS speculate! In such speculations, we can come to many ways to rewind time. Suppose time IS a fabric. A vast expanse of infinite non-molecular material. If we are to possess a way to make a cut in this fabric, we can gain access to two different periods in time.\n\n          Now here's the boomer. What if time DOES repeat itself? Now stick to me while I take you to a psycho flight. Seatbelts on? good.\n\n         So far we have considered time to be a concept in whose relation we all exist. Now imagine this. WHAT if time is relative to every individual? No-one has been able to explain the term 'life'. Maybe this is because life IS time? What we consider time is the fabruication of us mortals. What if time exists independently for everyone? When one perishes, he is actually going to REPEAT his so called 'life'. Perhaps he period from the Big Bang to the collapse of the universe has repeated itself millions of times already!\n\n             Now thats a speculation. No-one can state it correct or incorrect, for one doesnot bear such perception. Perhaps we are just the play-stuff of a larger colossal existence. Then again, what is existence?

No Time, No Space, just let it be known to one and all what has been done and that its wrong, and that the quantum, time and place of punishment is to be decided by you and you alone. It may be in a minute, hour, day, week, month or years, let it be known that though shall not take it and shall give back with interest. That way the other shall be on his/her toes till you are thru.

Time is the entity that surrounds us. It's what keeps us in line and on track. Time are the moments and memories that we have with friends and family. Time is limited. Unpredictable. We can not control it, it has a mind of it's own. whatever happens in time, is beyond our reach.

Are there only 3 easy dimensions to get around in or 4? The way we percive all that is around us seems to be that we can't seperate time from space except through artifical means. Non movement can be defined as 0 deagrees kelivin or absolute zero. If time is wrapped into space then if nothing is moving then no/time might pass.

As human being with a linear perspective of time, the continuum is something we can not fully understand. Space-time refers to the way time and space interact particularly in terms of travel, that is to say that time in and of itself is in constant movement and cannot be manipulated in our perception beyond the absolute, i.e. beginning and end. However there are many who think of time as circular meaning with no beginning or ending always moving within a single loop. Space tends to warp time only in terms of movement i.e. the faster the movement in space (space does not mean the vacuum beyond earths atmosphere, but any area free of obstruction for the movement of matter or mass), the slower time. According to relative theory if you travel at the speed of light, time for you will stop, while time for the rest of the universe remains constant.

Do you mean by themselves or with others?

Yes, time is a relative and would be preceived differently if it could be perceived from all the various perspectives.  Time and space fold in upon each other and we see a result but not the only result.

GOOD QUESTION: well done! There is not really any such thing as time, it is merely our way of describing a particular abstract concept. If it was a solid physical reality it surely couldn't be relative. Lets all go and read Einstein and try to figure it out!
