The Concept of Invariance and Change

Our world is a constant stream of different phenomena. Human attempts to understand the world and the various phenomena that it entails, often lead to a need to determine which properties remain invariant despite changes in a situation. This quest arises from the understanding that some properties and characteristics of an object can change while others remain invariant. Obviously, if one state is exactly the same as another, then no doubt exists that all aspects are exactly the same in both. However, once any changes are observed, considerations arise regarding the source, causes, and forces that lead to them.
