Laws of physics are laws of motion. Without space and time, we can’t talk about what it means for something to be moving, or for something to be close to or far from something else. We can’t talk about something happening without a notion of time for it to be happening in. Even the concept of energy is built upon space and time, because energy is ultimately nothing more than motion or the potential for motion. Without time and space, nothing can change, and without change, it is hard to imagine any reality worth imagining. Without time, nothing happens. Without space, nothing is.
