Space is the result or function of matter, it is the distance between objects, be they the furniture in your living room or galaxies.

Time is the result or function of energy and is ultimately a measure of increasing entropy, agsin whether it be the kinetic energy of an unwinding clock mainspring, or the light and heat radiated by the Sun.

Infinity is what exists in the absence of matter. Eternity is what remains when all energy is used or absorbed.

Science is the study of how matter and energy interact and change. The laws of science emerge from the inherent nature of matter and energy, which limit the ways in which they interact.

Insofar as can be currently determined by science, we are the result of these interactions. As such we are bound by the same processes as the rest of the Universe.

If there is anything about us which transcends these limitations, it has yet to be defined or universally accepted as fact. This is unsurprising since it will act, interact and have processes entirely separate and distinct from those we have observed everywhere else. However, we should accept that this 'other part' will probably be subject to a different set of interactions, limitations and processes which arise from its own nature. However, we only have limited glimpses, not always consistent, of this other level or realm of actitivity, due to the limitations of our senses.
