I am dismayed that so many people seem to think time was invented by man and that it doesn't exist outside of our own mind. And yet space and everything else CAN exist outside of our own mind. This is completely wrong.
Now, if you want to argue that NOTHING exists outside of our own minds, then I think you might have something worth discussing. But to say time isn't real, but space and matter are, that is just absurd.
Time and space are inseperable (space-time). In fact, time is just another dimension like the three spatial dimensions. The only difference is that in the time dimension we have very limited ability to move around, whereas in space we feel as though we have unrestricted movement.
So, to answer your question, yes, time would exist in a vacuum, and here's why:
A vacuum cannot exist with space. Space cannot exist without time. So, time must exist in (or better, as part of) a vacuum.
To echo another response, there is 'latent' energy in a vacuum, so even a perfect vacuum, while devoid of real matter, still contains something.
Anyways, I hope this helps.
Surely it would exist!
why the heck r u comparing a phenomenon like vacuum to a physical quantity like time!!
Yes.
Vacuum does not affect time.
