Imagine a perfect vacuum devoid of all matter and radiation. Irrespective of whether such a space can even exist, my intuition tells me that time would not exist within such a space. What this thought experiment tells me is that the human concept of time is basically that it's a measure of motion. Whether its a car speeding down a highway, skin on your face as the years go by, or photons, it's really all about motion. Now what about something like a gravitational field? Could that also be excluded from acting within a perfect vacuum?
