Ok, Ok, I confess. Thales asked that question 600 BCE and it has stumped scientists and philosophers for the past 2600 years.
Well, make a guess. What never changes?

Dear annie - Love ya, but what you said about being in the wrong chat group - that my little chickadee never seems to change. -- Did you read the religious and spirituality answers to this question? "Allota's" answer was both religious and spiritual; Without humor, we are robotic Church puppets.

Wow, I just had an image of Thales posting this question on y/a in 600 BCE, and it stayed posted for 2600 years while all the great minds in history took a stab at it. Can you imagine the stars, pages and thumbs up/down involved?
By the way, I believe some things are beyond change, but I can't articulate what they are. If you examine yourself, from your earliest recollections of your sense of 'I am', you will see that through all the changes you've gone through, there are some subjective, invisible aspects of your sense of being that have stayed the same, and since each of us is a representative of All That Is, it stands to reason there are qualities of the macrocosm that are also beyond change.

It depends who you ask. Some woud say nothing changes, it only seems to change. Others would say that the universe is in flux and the only thing that is constant is change. Most would agree that death never changes.
This question should be in Philosophy =)

What never changes is the no-thing everyone has that knows changes, or the awareness of change. "It's the silence between the notes that make the music, and it's the space between the bars that hold the tiger".

Heb 13:8 Jesus Christ the same yesterday, and to day, and for ever.
Mal 3:6 For I am the LORD, I change not; therefore ye sons of Jacob are not consumed.
Real Truth...

Math.
Once you get into more complex equations you might learn something you were using before was incorrect in the first place. 1+1=2 no matter what.
(With my respect.... to theist..... I would like to say God is always changing. He changes from society to society. From OT to NT. From one person to another. I think its very hypocritical to say he does not change.)

Some say God never changes, that his love is the same yesterday, today, and to marrow.
Peoples reaction to change never changes. We are all apprehensive at first to some degree.

Change. It is the only constant.
That and the amount of energy in the universe. Seriously, energy can not be created or destroyed, only transformed.

well, gravity seems pretty constant.
A person's eyeball never grows, it is born the size it will remain.
Hmm.
I'm pretty sure the speed if light has remained the same.
