Thanks. Sorry about the trouble.

Thank you, I'll look into General Relativity also.

Thanks for the clarification

Thanks. You are being very helpful. This is actually what I was trying to ask about with my initial question.

Thank you for those useful examples. I'll look into those. Thanks again!

Sorry. I put it here by mistake. My bad. I asked a different question in the Cosmology Forum that was about Cosmology, but it got deleted for apparently not following the forum rules (which is ridiculous because I did follow the rules). Ironically, this question (which is not directly about...

If the universe had no matter/energy in it, then time would not be ticking. Nothing would be happening, and there would be no way to differentiate units of time. One second and one million years would be essentially equivalent, so time would be both meaningless and nonexistent. If there is...

Thank you Chronos! That is an excellent point and answers my question.

We know time and matter are inseparable because all of our values for time are defined with respect to matter. What is a day? One full rotation of the earth. What is a year? One full revolution around the sun. What is one second? “‘9,192,631,770 periods of the radiation corresponding to the...

For example, we know that time and matter are inseparable. If time exists, then matter exists, and vice versa. I'm specifically wondering if it is possible for energy to exist without time. Could an entire universe be made of nothing but energy while being outside time?

So then would I be correct in saying that time, matter, and energy are all inseparable? The three always exist together?

I have a question. Can energy exist by itself (without time and matter)? Or is it the case that if there is energy, then there must be matter (and therefore time)?
