Chapter 1047
- Atoms also comforted philosophers because the existence of atoms solved, in part, a philosophical problem. One observes that all things seem to change. But since change is a relative concept, we are moved to ask: "Change with respect to what?" "How can we evaluate change except relative to some unchanging standard that does not itself change?" "How does one account for both change and permanence?" Atoms provide one answer. Atoms are permanent. It is their spatial relationship to one another that changes. #7025 •
