Is change possible?

Post by Farid7 »

Hello everyone,

I would like to share something about change. The "Y" is a variable.

"If something different than Y is not Y. Then Y cannot become something different, because then something different is Y. Thus Y cannot change."

It is said, "Change is the only constant."

That 'Y' is a variable, it cannot be an absolute Y-in-itself, it must be qualified with time t and other conditions, as such, the "Y" variable would be appropriately Y-t0.
Time is never constant but change.
So, Y-t0 is never the same as Y-t1, Y-t2 and so on.
Thus Y-t0 will change with time and other conditions.
