'Change' is a concept equating to variant states of a being or beings.
The understanding of the concept is - essentially - an understanding of the absolute existence of being(s) which relatively alter (or, have relatively altered) it's/their absolute state of existence.
The 'absoluteness' of existence cannot be in doubt, since the absoluteness of change depends upon the foundational existence of Something that can at least experience change. [argue as you wish]
In other words, existence is absolute and 'change' is relative [states of that existence].

'[relative] Motion' is a concept equating to existential distortion, so that existence-as-a-whole, if you like, changes position - akin to 'you' changing your position in bed each night, if you like.
In other words, the concept of motion is also reducible to Something 'absolute' which experiences motion within ~itself~.

Crap, crap, poopy poopy poopsickle, variant states of gibberish turky roast, stinky britches and crap.

Have you ever been or plan to be at some point, educated?

Let go of the crap and accept reality because it is far more satisfying.

Lifegazer,

you keep insisting on trying to prove spatial stuff doesn't exist by pointing out certain properties of space or stuff. That just doesn't work.

Change exists, therefore time exists. We knew that.
Motion exists, therefore spacetime exists.

It's that simple.

Secondly, I just can't grasp why you find the existence of space so difficult to accept when you have no such diificulty accepting the existence of time.

'Velocity' is the rate of change in an object's position, which exists by measuring the overall displacement against how much time was required to reach the final position. The understanding of this concept is - essentially - an understanding of the absolute magnitude of an object's velocity. The absoluteness can not be in doubt, because...that...one guy...said so. I think he was Italian...

'Acceleration' is a concept equating to the rate of change in an object's velocity, so that velocity-as-a-whole, if you wish, changes its rate, similar to 'you' pressing your foot down on the gas pedal in a car. In other words, you are able to calculate an object's velocity by knowing the time, acceleration, and initial velocity, by which I mean...I don't know...Jesus...I guess.

Try to wrap your head around that. :cool:

:stop:

OK, what's this about absoluteness? What is absolute? We need some definitions here.

The 'absoluteness' of existence cannot be in doubt, since the absoluteness of change depends upon the foundational existence of Something that can at least experience change. [argue as you wish]
In other words, existence is absolute and 'change' is relative [states of that existence].

Again, what do you mean by 'absolute'?

'[relative] Motion' is a concept equating to existential distortion, so that existence-as-a-whole, if you like, changes position - akin to 'you' changing your position in bed each night, if you like.
In other words, the concept of motion is also reducible to Something 'absolute' which experiences motion within ~itself~.

Again - what is absolute? And how does 'existence as a whole' change position?

I've dealt with this before. I don't want to belabor the point but no, it's not cute. I find it disgusting. Rabbits were not put on this earth by god to be demeaned by humans. They are a proud and dignified species that should not wear food on their heads. They should be grilled and served with vegetables. Though creamed and served with mashed potatoes is not so bad either. Hmmmm.... damn, now I want rabbit.

In other words, existence is absolute and 'change' is relative [states of that existence].
Incorrect: If you are talking about the existence of being or beings, that is subject to change, namely in a being's coming into existence and going out of existence. If you are talking about the existence of reality, I think you're making an awfully large assumption that reality, itself cannot change.

(I couldn't tell if you were referring to individual existence of universal existence, as you seem to flip between the two. So, I addressed both.

This is further compounded by your earlier claims that existence faced oblivion if we didn't buy into your "we're all god" thingie.

'[relative] Motion' is a concept equating to existential distortion, so that existence-as-a-whole, if you like, changes position - akin to 'you' changing your position in bed each night, if you like.
In other words, the concept of motion is also reducible to Something 'absolute' which experiences motion within ~itself~.
So, in your analogy, I am my bed?

And what prevents me from dying in my bed, thus changing the state of my existence?

Honestly, lifegazer, this one is more ill conceived than usual.
