> actually... i guess G does change...
> it is the time slices that don't changeActually... I'm not so sure... I'm not so sure what to say about that.
A - B - C - D - E - F
And the sum total of that = G
Does G change through time?
G just is the totality of slices.
Does G change through time?
Time slices change...
Each individual time slice doesn't...
But there are alterations in properties between time slices.
I guess you can say that the object changes at different points in time.
But G isn't located in any one point in time.
I'm not sure why I heard someone say that 4D objects aren't supposed to change...
I don't know.
I think this line is supposed to be an attempt at a solution of paradoxes around
Changing
and
Not changing
too
But I'm not sure...
And on this account how many ships of Thesus are there?
Ak.
