Heraclitus Change

The movement of water is basic knowledge, something that everyone knows about. It is also known that a river will stay the same river unless it flows into another river, lake or ocean. However, Heraclitus boldly claims that it is impossible to step in the same river twice. Due to the fact that the river is constantly flowing and changing, it is not the same river when stepped into the second time. Heraclitus argues that because everything is constantly changing, nothing stays the same. Therefore, the water is different from the first time, it is not static. What is Heraclitus trying to say about this? Heraclitus is arguing that nothing is constant and that everything is flowing, and moving. Nothing is fixed. Does this mean that there is no

The only time an object stops vibrating is when absolute zero is reached, zero degrees Kelvin. However, scientists have not yet been able to reach absolute zero. Does that mean that it might be impossible? If that is the case, then it may validate the fact that it is impossible to be still or stationary. However, would something vibrating be considered movement and change? It may be moving in place, but it is still the same object. It would not be different from the object it was five seconds ago. It may be moving, but it is not changing. This brings us back to Heraclitus’ claim that nothing stays the same. The object from earlier has not changed, it is still the same object. Could it be that Heraclitus would consider time as an element of change? For example, the 1:00 PM object would be different from the 2:00 PM object because it is no longer the object from 1:00 PM, it is now the 2:00 PM object. This would then make it, with certainty, a changed object. Time is always flowing like a river, and it changes every second. The water five seconds forward is different from the water five seconds earlier. Therefore, it is not possible to step in the same river twice, even if the water is not flowing due to the change in
