I will share Schroeder's opinion since I'm not ready to fully type out my own, yet. Until the creation of Adam, there is room (from what perspective) for vast epochs to have occurred, for extensive animal kingdoms, and perhaps Angelic kingdoms to have arisen and stumbled. It is with the advent of Adam that the spacetime we reckon became so 'fixed' and the limits so defined, such that our development is in a protected state, presently. But our perceptional limitations do not prevent there being dimensional realms with very different temporal perspective:

Nahmanides taught that although the days (the six days of creation) are 24 hours each, they contain "kol yemot ha-olam" - all the ages and all the secrets of the world. Nahmanides says that before the universe, there was nothing... but then suddenly the entire creation appeared as a minuscule speck. He gives a description for the speck: something very tiny, smaller than a grain of mustard. And he says that is the only physical creation. There was no other physical creation; all other creations were spiritual. The Nefesh (the soul of animal life, Genesis 1:21) and the Neshama (the soul of human life, Genesis 1:27) are spiritual creations.
. . .
Nahmanides further writes: "Misheyesh, yitfos bo zman" - from the moment that matter formed from this substance-less substance, time grabs hold. Time is created at the beginning. But time "grabs hold" when matter condenses from the substance-less substance of the big bang creation. When matter condenses, congeals, coalesces, out of this substance so thin it has no material substance, that's when the biblical clock starts.

It is my contention that every speck has a bit of time, a pinch of space and energy, woven to exist in continua expressions fabricated from variables of the dimensions, with some continua having more and some less variability. A photon travels the universe with a flick of present time (planar time) lacking a variable expression of space, so it travels a linear spatial pathway always in the present of it's emission. Time has taken hold of the photon only in so far as it is fixed in planar time.

With the addition of a spatial variable, the thing we call a photon takes on another characteristic of more substantial matter because it is then fixed in both time and space for its stability ... spacetime grabs hold of the energy packet. The quantum foam is the most fundamental form of the creation at least since the inflationary stage of creation.

Perhaps during the inflationary stage, realms of dimensional variables were created which have a very different manifestation of the fundamental dimensions. In fact, a dimension of spirit or a dimension of life may exist independent of volumetric space or linear time! We haven't a scientific clue --as yet-- for what combinatorics of dimensions exist right alongside our limits, which we cannot sense because of our more limited state of dimensional variables.

Of only this I am sure: God Created/Creates all that there is and all that ever will be. If beings exist in another realm of dimensional variables, it is God's Spirit Who holds these realms in balance alongside our own realm, all being taken together as 'the Universe of His Creation'.

If 'events' are occurring there, those realms have some variable of dimension time. And if 'things' exist there, those realms have some variable of dimension space.
