Well, here we are. I guess that it was destined to come to this.

It has "space" so that "objects" have some-where to exist.
It has "time" so that there is some-when for "energy" to cause those various "objects" to interact and events can occur.
Tada! Spacetime and relativity in two sentences without exceeding 3 syllables, a whiteboard, waving my arms, CG or Hubble backdrops or using the terms millions/billions/or trillions as multiples of each other.
Let's see if I can deconstruct it farther.
No space, no matter. No time, no energy, no events.
Wohooo! only 2 syllable words and 10 total! I rule!
Yes but why space, time and objects. That's the real question.
You basically just said that things exist, and if they didn't exist, they don't exist. It's a nonsensical statement.
Spacetime and matter/energy. Take away any one of the four and existence (as we understand it) doesn't exist, or cannot be proven/measured.
Without energy, it wouldn't matter if there were time and space or even matter. Nothing would happen, there would be no way to know that anything existed, and since nothing could occur, would it exist?
Without matter, nothing but energy existing in space and time, there would be "nothing" to occur again. No method to measure the space, no events to clock off in time, again, if it existed, how could that be proven?
matter/energy requires spacetime in order to occur/exist. Spacetime without any matter OR energy (which are really the same thing) cannot be measured since there is nothing to measure with or against.
