Has existence always been here? Can infinite space and infinite time co exist? Are they co dependent? I’m no genius but It seems like there’d be a problem for them to coexist.

I don't really ask these kinds of questions because they just are not relevant to day-to-day life and living. As far as my own limited existence is concerned, existence has always been here and I cannot comprehend the infinite as a non-infinite being. :shrug:

Yes. Well, at least it's always been. I'm not sure what you mean by "here". As I see it, "here" appears in existence.


I'm not sure if they are infinite, but they do coexist along with causation.

Thars to bad. The creative imagination is a wonderful thing.

This will depend upon how one defines "always" and the evidence so far indicates that there is a "right way". With what we know right now, and this could possibly change, it looks like time began with the Big Bang. That means that yes, existence has always been here. The concept of "What was before the Big Bang?" May be as pointless as "What is south of the South Pole?" The only answer for either question is "nothing". Nothing is South of the South Pole, and there was no existence before the Big Bang.

distance/time. If there is a measured distance it takes time. That is the easiest way to comprehend the co dependence.

One of the reasons I'm agnostic is that I've reached a point of acceptance where there are some questions I may never know the answer to, such as the questions you're asking here.

Nobody knows. I don't think anyone in this reality has any real way of knowing.

All I really know is that I'm here, in a place. I don't know exactly what this place is, but I've seen maps of it which seem reasonably accurate. I've seen diagrams of the solar system and artists' conceptions of the Milky Way galaxy and the Earth's relative position within it. There are other galaxies, too, perhaps trillions of them. We don't know how far it goes.

Our planet is just a tiny speck within all that - a little ball of mud inside a bubble of air inside of which things started to grow and life developed, including these ugly bags of mostly water which some people refer to as "Humans." We're moving around the sun at high speed, while the sun itself is also moving around the galaxy, which may also be in motion. It's literally the "ride of our lives," but we probably won't know what kind of ride it is until it stops.

You are spinning at up to 1,037mph (1,670km/h) if you live on the equator, you travel around the Sun at 66,627 mph (107,226 km/h), you travel around the galaxy at 448,000 mph (720,000 km/h), and you travel throughout the universe at about 70 miles per second (112 km per second)

At What Speed is Earth Traveling Through Space?

I like science but compared to the unknown it takes 2nd place imo

For us yes. I don't see a contradiction. More or less.

Space allows for movement, movement creates time.
