no nirvana-like un-change...................

 

How do we know that change is accelerating?  There is, after all, no absolute way to measure change.  In the awesome complexity of the universe, even within any given society, a virtually infinite number of steams of change occur simultaneously.  All "things"—from the tiniest virus to the greatest galaxy—are, in reality, not things at all, but processes.  There is no static point, no nirvana-like un-change, against which to measure change.
