Space and Time in the Bh.S
substances, both living and non-living and does not give a status of an independent substance to time. Time, in this tradition is the innate aspect of each substance. It is responsible for the mutation of substance. Because of this nature, time is related with all the five extended realities including space. This is why Jain philosophy accepts space-time relation. The other view accepts time as absolute, which is flowing from infinite past to infinite future continuously and is of an atomic structure.
