                                     <p>However, my questions are concerning the word &ldquo;time&rdquo;. Time is such an incoherent, pending concept, misunderstood and untouched because perhaps it <em>cannot</em> be understood and it <em>cannot</em> be touched. This is because time does not exist. It is an aftermath value that human beings brought onto this earth, a perception to help us understand the things around us and conversely, ourselves. Many people perceive time as a straight line ticking on, inevitable, definite and defined, but what if time was a circle and we were trotting on its inner rim? Why would that belief be inferior to the belief that time is a straight line? Some people would argue that counting the minutes go by is proof for the straight progression of which the nature of time adopts, which is the same argument Victorians used to justify their belief of a flat Earth. These contradicting, chaotic perceptions already show the messiness of our understanding concerning time. Regardless, <strong>my belief stands: time is an aftermath of humankind</strong>.</p>

                                     <p>For example, the perception of <em>I am here</em> verifies the existence of the space around me. <em>I am here</em> shows that I am aware of the space I am in, and that I comprehend the interactions between me and that space. The understanding of being here, being somewhere at all validates the <em>being</em> of space, which in turn, is the basis of &ldquo;here&rdquo; or &ldquo;somewhere&rdquo;. Conversely, a robot without self-awareness or feeling does not <em>see</em> or <em>register</em> its surroundings, and therefore the world that the robot perceives does not contain space. Awareness, recognition and perception are what validate the basis of space around us. The robot, without its comprehension of sense, is nothing but a string of programming.</p>

                                     <p>Let's return to the question: is time dependent on change? Looking back to the white room that I mentioned with its <em>lack</em> of mental activity and therefore lack of awareness, makes me realize that the white room does <em>not</em> classify as space after all, because there is no-one to perceive the space. In the case of the white room not classifying as space, the requirements of time and the requirement of space begin to align perfectly: <strong>mental awareness or simply, emotional activity are what verify the existence of both time and space</strong>.</p>
 
                                     <p>Okay. So now we have whole new sets of conclusions: yes, time <em>is</em> dependent on change. Because it is dependent on change, it is dependent on space that acts as the basis for change. Space is dependent on personal perception. Personal perception is a type of change. Therefore, space verifies time, and vice versa. Are space and time completely co-dependent on each other, though? Here's a chart answering that question <em>on the basis of time being dependent on change</em>:</p>

                                     <p>Overall, I think the chart above shows pretty well the relationship between time and space: space is dependent on time, and time independent of space (though questions about perception are further raised concerning time's independence). Of course, everything that I just said are entirely my opinion and only a tiny corner of the conversation about time &amp; space.</p>
 
                                     <p>In conclusion, time and space are two of the most vital pillars upholding humankind's understanding and sanity, rationalizing our conceptual perceptions. Their co-dependences and relationships to each other is one of the most powerful veins of philosophy, and deserving of centuries of intellectual exploration.</p>
