Endurantism and timeless worlds (original) (raw)

This paper argues that endurantists can reconcile their view with the possibility of timeless worlds by redefining temporary intrinsics as relations to various types of points in an underlying manifold, rather than strictly temporal points. By doing so, they can maintain that certain properties, such as being charged, can exist in timeless worlds. The discussion extends to the implications of this view for both geometric and non-geometric properties, ultimately proposing that endurantism can effectively address the challenge posed by the existence of timeless worlds.
