Given this, think about how absurd existential inertia would be in terms of space: it would mean that bodies naturally extend on all sides unless something stops them. Why would anybody think that? <br /><br />But I think extending forwards in time is not very different metaphysically from extending in space. And so while I think one needs an explanation as to why we extend forwards in time as we do, that explanation need not be any metaphysically more difficult than the explanation of why we extend in space as we do.

Lately Joe Schimid formulation has been popular. What are your thoughts on that?Mariel. Chttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04667956798108740881noreply@blogger.com
