I was referring specifically to your assertion that I quoted, in reference to space being a perfect vacuum at any moment prior to the big bang.

Bringing in String Theory which at the moment has no indenpendent validation by physical evidence. Self consistent theories, yes. String Theory does not imply temperature and time have any correlation. So in essence, you have a hypothesis that such a correlation exists. Fine. So what now. What do you want to do with it. What I reacted to is you just leaving it at that.

I see now what you meant, but I was referencing string theory for other spatial dimensions, not anything about temperature or time. Also, I mentioned previously a few experiments that could possibly show if the hypothesis in question is correct.

If such a relationship were to exist, it would have to be highly exponential, like that of velocity and time.

Right. If such a relationship between temperature and time were to exist and one were frozen to sufficient enough of a temperature and then brought back to normal temperature, one would agree with another observer that he seemed to age slower. I am not certain of a way to find out if the frozen observer would notice a decrease in activity of the other observer though.
