Role of Space-Time in Jaina's Syādvāda
(ii) Saying that time flows equally "without relation to anything to external". Newton is asserting that the temporal internal between two events as what it is independent of bodies are in space and how they behave.

(iii) Thirdly, Newton is distinguishing true mathematical time from sensible and external measure of it. He is asserting that the metric of time is intrinsic to temporal intervals and that talk about the lapse of time between and is not elliptical for talk about the relation of and to the behaviour of a pendulum or any other physical system.
(iv) "Absolute space in its own nature without relation to anything external remains always similar and immovable”, this is structure of space being absolute as maintained by Newton. This immovable structure was assumed to be that of the Euclidean three-space E'. place is part of the space which a body which a body which takes up and is according to the space either absolute or relation.
We summarise the senses of Absoluteness as follows: (1) Space-time is endowed with various structures that are
intrinsic to it.
(2) Among these structures are absolute simultaneity (i.e. a unique partition of events into simultaneity classes) and an absolute duration (i.e. a measure of temporal lapse that is independent of the path connecting the events). (3) Thee is an absolute reference frame that provides a unique way of identifying spatial locations through time. As a result, there is an absolute or well-defined measure of the velocity of individual particles and a well defined measure of spatial separation for any pair of events. (4) The structure of space-time is immutable i.e. it is the same from time to time in the actual world and from this world do other physically possible worlds.
