Either get engaged in the discussion or keep out of it. — Luke
What do you mean by "from left to right"? — Luke
Indeed, this is apparent. I do not understand how you think like this. You can see that the left of the image is a different colour to the right. — Banno
And yet it changes.
So his account is problematic. — Banno
Your denying this is for me of a par with MU's denial of instant velocity; it leaves me nonplussed. — Banno
All you seem to be doing here is stipulating that change requires change. If you do that then you are simply placing yourself at odds with everyday use.
Your squares example is gratuitous. There is no equivocation; the colour changes over distance. — Banno
No, it refers to a change in degree of difference of the color over different x coordinates.Surely the statement refers to a change in the degree of difference of the color at a given x coordinate? — Luke
As opposed to what? You're just misconceiving change. When O moves from A=(1,1,1,1) to D=(2,1,1,2), nothing is changing time. O moves because O is at A and is at D, D and A are at different times, and D and A are at different places (and more reasons which I'll ignore here for now). O never stops being at (1,1,1) at t=1. There's no such thing as a thing that moves from (1,1,1) at t=1 to (2,1,1) at t=2:You are simultaneously asserting that nothing changes place while relying on a change of place (change of x-coordinate) in your calculation. — Luke
And? In model of motion, O (at each point in time) is also at a fixed location. We say O moves because O finds itself at different places at different times.In Banno's static image, the colour (at each x-coordinate) is a fixed distance from the colour (at the x-coordinate) on the right. — Luke
