Most humans are composed of legs, belly, and head in the same way as most humans are composed of childhood, middle-age, and eld. Ordinary objects are so-called spacetime worms; they stretch out through time like earthworms stretch out through space" (Hawley 2020 - cit. by [Internet Encyclopedia of Philosophy](https://iep.utm.edu/eternalism/#:~:text=Eternalism%20is%20a%20metaphysical%20view,and%20deaths%2C%20is%20equally%20real.)) [^2]: "There are infinitely many possible worlds, mutually disconnected spatiotemporal systems each as real and concrete as our own actual world (Lewis 1986a). For Lewis, strictly and literally there are talking donkeys, because there could have been talking donkeys (as we may all agree), so some possible world contains talking donkeys, which are just as real, alive, and made of flesh and blood as any donkey you have ever seen. Of course, those other worlds are not open to our observation; there are no [[NEPOBJEDIVI/MODELING/Cosmoscope|trans-world telescopes]]" (Williamson T. on Lewis D. (aka Machine in the Ghost))
