I believe I have heard that you can never have more space than the algorithms running time. I could be wrong, maybe other way around. What is the intuition behind this?

A Turing machine moves the tape by one space per time unit. Worst case, if all moves were in the same direction, the space used would be exactly the same as the time used.
