The same is the case with the double answer to the question regarding the extent, in space, of the world.

 But the synthesis of the manifold parts of space--(the syntheses whereby we apprehend space)--is nevertheless successive; it takes place, therefore, in time, and contains a series. Every limited part of space presented to intuition is a whole, the parts of which are always spaces--to whatever extent subdivided. We must now consider three phaenomena, which seem to be, in a manner, the reverse of these: Why a very great distance encreases our esteem and admiration for an object; Why such a distance in time encreases it more than that in space: And a distance in past time more than that in future. 

All this is easily applied to the present question, why a considerable distance in time produces a greater veneration for the distant objects than a like removal in space.

 [Footnote; They can be perceived only as phenomena, and some part of them must always belong to the non-ego; whereas pure intuitions are entirely the products of the mind itself, and as such are coguized IN THEMSELVES.--Tr] They contain, then, over and above the intuition, the materials for an object (through which is represented something existing in space or time), that is to say, they contain the real of sensation, as a representation merely subjective, which gives us merely the consciousness that the subject is affected, and which we refer to some external object. 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.
