"Everything changes— you cannot step in the same river twice."
        — Heraclitus of Ephesos (535 BC-475 BC), Fragments

"Being stays the same— unmoved, without beginning or end."
        — Parmenides of Elea (540 BC-450 BC), Proem

Is everything changing or is everything the same? This is the classical debate between the ancient Greek philosophers Heraclitus and Parmenides. From the viewpoint of becoming, everything changes. From the viewpoint of Being, everything remains the same. Thus, every sunrise brings forth a new day, but the sun remains the same, the illusion being the earth's rotation creating day & night.
