OK ken here we go.
Reality does not rely on matter. It is the space time fabric that is our Universe. Even where there is nothing virtual particles appear and disappear.
Time could be based on the mere interaction of even virtual particles. Without interaction there is no time. When the interactions stop, time will cease.
The fact that we all exist to even ask these questions is improbable to say the least.
I could go deeper with lots of equations but that will not explain anything.
Our real understanding is just beginning.
