Velocity is DEPENDENT on time. So I suppose in the sense that velocity represents distance over time, and distance is space, then the two can be considered related. But how does one define time in terms of distance/space?

Chicken and the egg?

Lambda (Einsteins famous relationship for a mass at rest vs at a speed v) doesn't have time in it — only C (speed of light) and v (current speed).

This relationship can be used to determine time dilation and mass dilation.

Of course, velocity is distance vs time so time is implicitly defined in the equation.
