This paper addresses the problem of relativistic change. This problem originates from the fact that while we ordinarily conceive of objects as having relatively invariant shapes, relativity seems to imply that their shape may vary dramatically across different reference frames. While the problem was originally presented by Sattig as affecting perdurantism, we propose that it equally affects endurantism and argue that exdurantism is naturally immune from it.

Abstract
This paper addresses the problem of relativistic change. This problem originates from the fact that while we ordinarily conceive of objects as having relatively invariant shapes, relativity seems to imply that their shape may vary dramatically across different reference frames. While the problem was originally presented by Sattig as affecting perdurantism, we propose that it equally affects endurantism and argue that exdurantism is naturally immune from it.
