Velleman says. "Just as a single point in space can contain only part of an extended object, a spatial part, so a single point in time can contain only part of a persisting object, a temporal part. The object fills time by having one temporal part after another, just as it fills space by having one spatial part next to another. An object that persists through time in this way is said to transport."

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Velleman does not use the term "transport" to describe how an object persists through time. The correct term for this concept is "perdure" or "perdurance," which refers to the theory that objects extend through time by having different temporal parts at different times, similar to how they extend through space by having different spatial parts.
