Perdurantism and Endurantism or 4Dism and 3Dism respectively are two ways to describe persistence of objects in time.
My belief that the universe is created anew every instant (how short that instant may be) faces the question of how it does that with keeping rather complex forms almost the same (at least on a macro level)
Otherwise, instead of my body, there would be a chaotic blur of matter in the next moment of time?
Is it really the sheer force of electromagnetic patterns and other forces, or are there essences involved?
And furthermore, what are the pragmatic aspects of these questions?
At least we know, although we keep the same form, on an atomic level we wobble and swing all the time.
Hang on, I have to read more about that.
Then there will be more thoughts about perdurantism, endurantism and eternity.
