We measure space and time by what we can observe. All else is
speculation about what we have no opportunity to verify.
That does not mean that space and time do not exist beyond our universe
or that if they do that they are different. Given that our Big Bang
occurred, who is to say that other Big Bangs have not occurred or that,
if they did, that they are subject to principles of physics other than
those that we observe within our universe?
It certainly doesn't mean that they do exist outside
our universe. There's no basis to a conjecture that
they do. We can only measure space and time
within our universe. Space and time both are
dependent on the observer and the circumstances.
Since they're not absolute even within our universe,
how can a time and space that doesn't reference
our universe be anything but an conjecture not
merely unsupported but even with strikes already
against it before it comes up to the plate?
