If two events..

[MarkusSweden]

...only are separated from each other by time and nothing else.

Hence, every other aspects are the same, every position of all atoms and quarks are the same, every movement and relation to each other are the same, magnetic field the same, all of quaila the same and so forth. 

You see what I mean, nothing but time separates the two events from each other. 

Then it's just ONE event, right?

There are three ducks swimming in a pond. Are they three ducks or a duck family?

Is my coffee table a table made of wood, or wood in the shape of a table?

You look at your reflection in a mirror then close your eyes, then open your eyes and look again. Is the second you the same as the first you? Have you not aged between the two reflections?

Whether two events are separate or the same event, depends on how you frame the observation.

The second problem is the one of 'time'. This is just materialist nonsense: time as a flowing river or unbroken thread is just plain untruth. There is only the current moment and that's it. The illusion of time is woven purely from memory and memory always operates in the now.

Of course that's not a real answer, because 'memory' and the 'current moment' are both deeply deeply mysterious.
