Theory The absolute theory holds that space is a homogeneous structure with a free-standing existence and is independent of other things. The Newtonian arguments of this theory, particularly those concerned with the ontological status of space and time, had been related to the existence of God through the concepts of absolute space and absolute time. It was proposed that the universe was finite in extent and was said to have begun in time. Additionally, space exists prior to the body or matter that occupies it and it was held that the universe - as a finite material - is merely situated within it. Martin Heidegger’s own theory of space also opposes the absolute theory with his criticism that it is founded on metaphysical dichotomy of separated subject and object. The thinker maintained that this nature keeps absolute theory from explaining the true nature of space.
