Philosophy
Processes vs. Substances in Metaphysics
Quick fact
Philosophers like Heraclitus argued that you cannot step into the same river twice, while Parmenides claimed change is an illusion—the world is a single, unchanging Being. This ancient tension still anchors modern metaphysics.
Why this is interesting
You probably think of the world as full of things—tables, atoms, people. But what if the deepest reality is not static objects, but a churning sea of events?
