PHILOCHRON CLASSIFICATION OF BEINGS

PHILOCHRON CLASSIFICATION OF BEINGS

According to their duration, things are classified in: Eternal, enduring, perishable, ephemeral, fleeting and non-existent.

A) Eternal things have no beginning or end; Like space. For believers, God and Paradise are eternal.

B) Lasting things last a long time. They are divided into:

- Centenarians, if they last from 100 to 999 years. For example the spruce tree and the saguaro cactus.

- Millennials, from 1000 to 999,000 years. The redwood trees.

- Millionaire, more than a million years. The geological eras, the life of the planets and the stars.

C) Perishable things are short-lived; They last from one day to 99 years. The life of the human being.

D) Ephemeral things are short-lived, some hours.

E) The fleeting things are of very short duration, some seconds or fractions of second. The flicker, the heart rate.

F) Non-existence is lack of existence, without duration. Planet X between Mars and Jupiter. All things have existence and essence.
