Is change necessary for time?

It says time requires change. That is, necessarily, if time exists, then change exists. Everyone agrees that clocks do not function without change, and time cannot be measured without there being changes, but the present issue is whether time exists without changes.

Why do changes happen from time to time?

Change happens because humans want to improve their condition, and apply ingenuity and good problem-solving to create progress. The people with the best handle on the future are the optimists, though individuals have a lot of control over what will happen.

How does time relate to change?

It has no beginning and no end. This is the actual meaning of Special Relativity: time is relative, its speed changes with the speed of the inertial system. The faster the speed of the system the slower is the speed of time (change).

What happens when change occurs?

When we experience change, we move from what we had known and done, through a period of transition, to arrive at a desired new way of behaving and doing our job. Treating change as a process is a central component of successful change and successful change management.

What are some examples of logically necessary existence?

Necessity is a property of statements not of objects. It doesn’t make sense to claim that an existent thing is logically necessary. Existent things just are, that’s all. We have no examples of necessary existence; we just have examples of necessary inferences or judgments.

Is necessary being a predicate of existence?

(Q.v., the notes Existence Is Not a Predicate) The idea of necessary being is unintelligible. As Hume point out, any statement concerning existence can be denied. Hume writes, “The words, therefore “necessary existence,” have no meaning, or which is the same thing, none of which is consistent.”.

Is it possible for God not to exist?

If God is an existent object in the universe, then by premise (1), it is possible for God not to exist. If God is a different kind of existent thing, then the argument commits the fallacy of petitio principii or the circularity of assuming in the premises what is to be proved.
