No. Time is another dimension that exists along with space in the universe.

Ok, here we go...no. At the precise moment of the 'Big Bang' (the explosion of the singularity), both time and space were created, linking the two. Ergo, where ever there is space, there will be time.
However, and this is where it can get complicated, space can and does warp relative to mass. We see this everyday, just look at the Sun. The mass of the sun causes space/time to warp slightly around it. So slightly the effect is unnoticable. Around black holes, where the mass is much, much greater, space is more warped and therefore, so is time.
There is a lot more i could say on experimental physics, but scientists don't fully understand the link between space and time. For example, there is a theroy that space itself could have a structure possibly meaning time could have a structure to it as well...wierd...
Yeah, i hope this answers your question.

Yes, because without space, there would be no time. Time cannot exist without space. When the universe came into existence, time was able to flow. Time is relative, meaning where you are in the universe and depending on your viewpoint, depends how much time has gone by.
Two things can slow down time, intense gravity and speeds close to the speed of light. For example, near the event horizon of a black hole, the part of the black hole that can be seen due to gases glowing that are being pulled into the black hole, time seems to be going slower to someone looking from the outside. On the surface of the object causing the black hole, time stops. Weird, I know.

In our universe's space, time can never be still since time is the human cognition of dealing with change and interaction. So as long as change and interaction persist, time will keep on going. Time would only stop if everything in our universe had to go still and nothing had to change or intereract with anything else.

It depends where you look.
On a small scale - like on earth, or in the solar system - things are relative and you can find time.
Looking at the universe - the whole infinite thing - there is no time or space - what we perceive is a special "for children" version since we are incapable of accepting reality.

If time was still in space how would Astronauts know when to come back home ?!!

only at a certain point,the further into space you go the more it slows down! till it stops (eg 0*) then it starts up again (i think,so don't sue me)

No, it left for the mall earlier today but should be back in time for dinner tonight.

time is the same everywhere you go unless you are entering a black holes gravitational field or traveling close to or the speed of light
