In accordance with their duration things are classified in: Eternal, durable, perishable, ephemeral, fleeting and nonexistent.
b) The durable things last a lot of time. They are divided in:
- Centennial, if they last among 100 to 999 years. For example, the fir tree and the saguaro cactus.
- Millennial, among 1,000 to 999,000 years. The secuoya tree.
- Millionaire, more than a million years. The geologic eras, the life of the planets and stars.
c) Perishable things have a little duration; they last among one day to 99 years. The human being’s life.
d) Ephemeral things have a short duration, some hours.
e) The fleeting things have a very short duration, some seconds or fractions of second. The wink, the rhythm of the heart.
f) The nonexistence is the lack of existence, no duration. The planet X between Mars and Jupiter. All things possess existence and essence.
