Paul,
Me: Your sequence of 'no change states' can have no empirical evidence.
"Really? So, according to you, there is not: 1) something (does not matter what it is, etc) 2) alteration in that something (does not matter how, what, etc)."
Me: This is just plain silly.
"1 It is independent of the mechanism that enables that receipt
2 It alters, because comparison of the physical inputs received reveals difference
So existence as knowable to us is existential sequence. Whatever the substance is which comprises that can only occur (ie exist) in one physically existent state at a time. Existence must involve definitiveness and no form of change."
Me: Your conclusion does not follow from your two points.
"You therefore need to a) provide "empirical evidence" for this not being so, b) provide "empirical evidence" for an alternative."
Me: The alternative is called reality. It is an everchanging universe and its empirical evidence is photons that inform us about the change of velocities of particles.
Your history is wrong also: Special Relativity was introduced in 1905. It included both length contraction and time dilation and it still applies today in addition to General Relativity effects. Force is not the cause. Your interpretations of your quotes are wrong.
Please go teach others your error-filled 'corrections'. I will return to posting on-topic messages.
