How should we think of the things that exist as "physical objects" or as "change-ev

This is a broad metaphysical question. I think the term "physical object" conveys the sense of something being experienced as touchable and the term "change-events" conveys the sense of something temporary in time being witnessed or something one is part of without being necessarily touchable.

There is a related metaphysics question about the metaphysical status of stars,blackholes, and dead stars in the physics category for anyone interested.

To quote the great philosopher Edie Brickell, "Everything is temporary, any way. When the streets are wet the colors slip into the sky..." It goes on.

Anyway, I guess what I believe is that in this life, on this earth, everything is temporary. Sure tangible things are the most touchable things--but those temporary events are very real. They exist as they happen and in our memory they live on and have in some way a life of their own. So change events are reality. Physical things--just there.
