Persistence and spacetime [electronic resource] / by Yuri Balashov. Balashov, Yuri, 1960- Space and time. Special relativity (Physics) Generalized spaces. BD632 115 22 Includes bibliographical references and index. Description based on online resource; title from home page (viewed Sept. 7, 2010). How do material objects persist through time and survive change? Are they three-dimensional entities extended in space, or are they four-dimensional spacetime 'worms'? Balashov shows how the theory of relativity supports four-dimensionalism and in so doing illuminates a wide range of metaphysical issues.
