The Burning Fuse Future Present Past Real Unreal consumed by the Present to become the ashes of Past Real posseses a capacity: it can come to be present Unreal lost the capacity: it cannot come to be present

Outrage….

How do we assign the label “real”? Presentists Real Unreal Eternalists Real Possibilists Unreal Real Future Earth one year in future. Present Earth now. Past No independent notion of unreality beyond not being present. Hence presentism becomes true by definition. (Mauro Dorato +…) Earth one year in past. …but otherwise disagree on no astronomical fact.

How do we assign the label “part”? Perdurantism Endurantism State of the earth now is the totality of the earth enduring through its history. State of the earth now is just a temporal part of the earth perduring through its history.
