IMHO, both time and matter, based on a finite universe, is irrefutably the result of an external, precedent factor, and I know of no alternative to this premise.
Actually our boys are working on a theory that time and space are intertwined, basically one cannot exists whiteout the other.
Im looking for the article will post it when i find it.

Well super string theory talks about a collision between 2 universes that produced space-time and matter in our universe. So actions that took place in the multi-verse could have created or shaped our universe but we can only theorize about the multi verse did the multi-verse come in to exsistance as our universe did or was it always there. We do have evidence that point to other universes like their gravitational effects.
