      Technically change isn’t a constant. Eventually everything will stop changing, because all of the atoms will have drifted too far apart to react to each other, and the universe will just be a thin soup of everything that will never touch anything ever again. Tomorrow is Wednesday, though, so only a few more days until the weekend!

        But by that point, cognition itself will be a physical impossibility, so is the the lack of change even real if there’s nothing to conceptualize its truth, and thus capable of declaring: “Nothing will ever change anymore”?

          You are mixing philosophy and fact. It doesn’t matter what can or can’t be perceived. If you blindfold yourself, the world doesn’t go away.
