The Presence of Time

Response to Derek and Lisa.

I do agree that an object can hold a rigid definition. However, this definition takes place only once at certain time. For example on Monday we understand the Prof was discussion the trash can. Except that trash can on that day does not exist anymore. It only existed on that one day containing those particular molecules. Therefore, at one point in time the trash can does posses a rigid definition. Furthermore, there is no possible way to go back in time (to Monday) and claim that the trash can might posses some different definition than the one given on that day. This even includes if the trash can has exactly the same particles. This is due to the fact that the particles on Monday are not the same any time since or before because they existed in a different time.
