The infinite divisibility of space implies that of time, as is evident from the nature of motion. For the external sense the pure image of all quantities (quantorum) is space; the pure image of all objects of sense in general, is time. 4 It is in relation to possible objects in space* The divisibility of a body rests upon the divisibility of space, which is the condition of the possibility of the body as an extended whole. But though every great distance produces an admiration for the distant object, a distance in time has a more considerable effect than that in space. Are you.... If phenomena were things in themselves, and time and space forms of the existence of things, condition and conditioned would always be members of the same series; and thus would arise in the present case the antinomy common to all transcendental ideas--that their series is either too great or too small for the understanding. If all reality in perception has a degree, between which and negation there is an endless sequence of ever smaller degrees, and if, nevertheless, every sense must have a determinate degree of receptivity for sensations; no perception, and consequently no experience is possible, which can prove, either immediately or mediately, an entire absence of all reality in a phenomenon; in other words, it is impossible ever to draw from experience a proof of the existence of empty space or of empty time.
