Quds Akbar said:Is there any idea in theoretical physics where the universe could exist without space and time
Quds Akbar said:say String theory (can the other dimensions in ST stand alone without space and time)?
Quds Akbar said:I know that in relativity space and time form the fabric of the universe, and everything exists in space time, so I keep thinking, could the universe exist without space and time, could anything exist? Is there any idea in theoretical physics where the universe could exist without space and time, say String theory (can the other dimensions in ST stand alone without space and time)?
Yes but according to ST, can the universe exist without the usual 4 dimensions, can the rest of the dimensions stand alone?PeterDonis said:String theory does not eliminate the ordinary 4 dimensions of spacetime that we see; it just adds others to them.

There is currently no scientific evidence to support the idea that the universe can exist without space and time. The concept of space-time is a fundamental aspect of our understanding of the universe and is supported by numerous experiments and observations.
If the universe existed without space and time, it would likely be unrecognizable to us. Without space, there would be no distance or location, and without time, there would be no change or movement. It is difficult to imagine a universe without these fundamental concepts.
There are theories that suggest that space and time may have been created during the Big Bang and could potentially be destroyed in the distant future. However, these theories are highly speculative and have not been proven.
The concept of space and time has been studied and debated by philosophers and scientists for centuries. It was not until the 20th century that Albert Einstein's theory of relativity provided a comprehensive understanding of the relationship between space, time, and gravity.
Some theories, such as string theory and M-theory, propose the existence of multiple universes or dimensions that may have different laws of physics. It is possible that in some of these universes, the concept of space and time may not exist, but this is purely speculative and has not been proven.
