Not quite following you.

Hmmm. I'll try to clarify what I mean. So, usually, when we talk about things existing or not, we refer to an object and a certain point in time (did it exist then or not). It's not at all obvious to me what it means to generalize this to "one point in time existing at another point in time", or a point in time just plain existing.
