THE PERCEPTION OF UNCHANGING NATURE IN A CHANGING WORLD : The systematized knowledge of nature and the physical world gives us the information about change as the most pervasive phenomenon. Natural Science and Natural Histroy is about the natural phenomenon called change. While we teach kids about change, we may have to tell them that every change happens because of the unchanging nature of what we describe as 'NATURE'. Things in Nature change and yet Nature remains unchanged. Days alternate with nights, seasons change with regularity and consistency, and the living substance, living matter, and living ground material remains unchanged while the environment and climate tend to show change and variation. We notice change in the shape, size, or appearance of a living form while the nature of Life remains unchanged.
