The word “temporary” can be used by means of an adjacent. It can describe people, objects, and actions. For example, people are temporary. We do not last forever; we have a limited lifetime. Likewise, technology is temporary. A laptop and cellphone have a temporary component to them. As technology advances, eventually, the older technology will fail to function or work properly after many years of use. These examples explain that things constantly change.

Putnam discussed the theory of relativity and how events occur based under the theory. He claims that all things that exist at this moment are considered real. He provides an example with the assumption that two people are at the place, but moving relative to one another with the same speed. The way the people move is relative to the speed of light and light rays shooting out at them. Until the light reaches the people, the event has not happened for them yet because of the way light and events interact. This becomes an unnoticed phenomenon because it is not a feeling people can detect; light travels too fast to feel what is really occurring with light rays. Using the theory of relativity, Putnam proves that the same event can happen at different times for different observers. Under this belief, there are events that lie in the present and there are also events that lie in the future. However, both events, the present and the futures ones, are considered real because they happen to each observer, just at
