Just out of curiosity, I'd like to know..

If only the space of the universe existed, and not the universe itself... Would time still exist?

Is time dependant on matter, or does time exist regardless of matter?

If time is dependant on matter, does it follow similar laws of polarity or shape as magnetism/electromagnetics/and gravity? If time does or doesn't exits in a void, how would you prove it?

I've been thinking about predesitination. Most people think of time as being linear. But if something is unavoidable, then it isn't just linear, its everywhere. If predestination is however most likely, but not written in stone, then perhaps it isn't everywhere, but has a shape that takes up most of the universe. But if thats the case, why doesn't everyone experience the same predestination. If you are destined to be a hero of villain in a given situation, why isn't everyone you know or near you sharing the same predestination? Or are they? Maybe predesination isn't a place you go to, but a place within you..that attracts all of the events that happen to/for you. I think the latter makes more sense, because it explains why the things that work for or against your destiny/fate are always around you or circling around you as if there was some gravitational pool centered around you. And it explains best why it was unavoidable.. You can't avoid something thats already in you.

Anyway, I know I am not really that informed on this stuff, and I am mostly ranting/musing. But I am very curious person, and I am looking for answers that are scientific, but also partially philosphical. When I think of the "Why or how of things" I think not nearly why does it work or how does it work, but why does it work that way, what is the purpose of it working that way, why would whoever designed it want to work that way? Similary, I wonder how something works, but also how its suppose to work, how its suppose to affect everything around it, how its suppose to affect everyone and everything in the universe. And then the last thing I wonder about is what is the long term purpose of the effect, How do the effects interact with other universal mechanisms? What is the result of the interactions?

Maybe I'm oversimplifying or overthinking something simple. But I often find myself frustrated with simplified scientific explanations, because I am not a scientist, mathematician or good at actually practicing science or math. But my curiosity often makes me feel like some scientific explanations are too simple, or don't fully explain everything that was attempted or proved or disproved by experimentation.

But I am still curious about how matter/gravity/time/magnetisim interact. I know often that math and science is applied to either. But sometimes I suspect that such maths and experimentation is like looking at something with one eye closed and the eye half closed to the point of your vision blurring, because commenting on any one of the forces should be impossible, because they all constantly interact..so its nearly impossible to seperate the forces.. Changing one force changes all the forces in some way shape or form. We might be able to predict what one change will do to the other forces, but I think we are just seeing the 2D effect of those changes. There is much more to it.. Forces mix like trapped gasses, liquids, solids and plasmas in a water balloon. We might know all of those things are in the water ballon, we might know that some things will rise to the top and others will mix, and others will sink to the bottom. But if we shake that balloon up we can't predict what will rub against what and push what in what direction until everything settles back to the original order. This is how I see all of the forces of the universe. A totally random mix of everything in the universe.
