According to the general theory of relativity, space and time are dependent on
the existence of matter.
As Einstein said(I read this in the book "This fascinating astronomy"),"People
before me believed that if all the matter in the universe were removed, only
space and time would exist. My theory proves that space and time would disappear
along with matter."
I checked up with a friend of mine who's a whiz at physics: seems the existence
of space-time (in general relativity) is firmly connected with the existence of
matter. One cannot exist without the other.
