Hello John, As I understand it, time is the measurement of change. Change being relative to the point of view.

John I noticed that. Marsha What does it actually mean to state that everything is always in a state of change? Everything! John It makes you wonder how the heck does it even hold together? Amazing. Marsha I'm thinking of the water analogy: If everything is water, and there is nothing that is not water, then there is no meaning to water, for there is no way of distinguishing a difference between water and nonwater. John Like a fish! Yeah! That makes sense! I get it. Unless you have a porpoise. They stick their blow holes into a different context regularly. Like me! Marsha Seems if you translate that into change, then what humans have actually defined as change is illusion. John Owww. You just hurt my brain. I'll have to think about it for a mo. The thing is, when water is ubiquitous you can't help but ignore it and when change is all there is, you can't help but notice. By it's very definition, change is noticed. Water isn't unless you have a noble porpoise. Marsha And if our definition of change is an illusion, how can anything be conceived of as constant, as in Einstein's 'C', when everything is changing? Against what is it measured? John A syllogism! I love those if-then things. Yeah. Only problem is I tend to not them, like this, what if our definition of change is NOT an illusion, What then? Then our definition of change is... something different. I mean, "something different". Like you get pizza three times a day, seven days a week for a year and then one day you think, I'm in the mood something different - a change. With that definition you could get chinese food for a change AND keep Einstein's C. A two for one coupon special. Marsha Can you untangle this mess between water, change and time? John An asian wise man once said, if it gets messy, eat it over the sink.
