Did i understand einstein correctly when im getting the impression that hes saying time and space existence depends on matter. Classic inflation, the theory described in textbooks, is based on the idea that, beginning from typical initial conditions and assuming a simple inflaton potential with a minimum of finetuning, inflation can create exponentially large volumes of space that are generically homogeneous, isotropic and flat, with nearly scaleinvariant spectra of density and gravitational. I would prefer it if the thread title said, why do scientists tend to be atheists. See section 2 for details, and for a slightly more ef. Filippo vernizzi ipht, cea saclay sppiphtdap jc, gifsuryvette, 30 january 2018 isl. In other words, matter is not in space and time but rather space and time is in matter.
