Answer 1

In the immortal words of Pink Floyd, "The sun is the same in a relative way, but you're older, shorter of breath, and one day closer to death."

Answer 2

That's the principle of uniformitarianism.

But I don't think it's the be-all end-all.  We can see things like the acceleration of a planet's orbit or the shift of an axis.  We don't know what sort of "programming" a celestial body has or anything on a celestial body on a scale that goes farther than about five thousand years.  We can surmise a little bit through geology, but it's pretty much all guesswork.  We can only have faith in the idea that everything works the same now as then.

Answer 3

The world has travelled long distances in the 10 million years. But if you reference point is far away say ten million light years the it hasn't moved at all. Go read a little Einstein theroy of relativity. But the world has changed here in 10 million years. Civilizations have risen and fallen. Mountains have been created and destroyed. Oceans have been connected. Rivers flooded. Air polluted. And so on. Oh and quit smoking grass.

Answer 4

Only the technology has advanced. The human mind... well look at yahoo answers. I am about to quit yahoo q/a. I don' like to think like the same "humans" as it were 10 milion yrs ago. (The majority is just like that)

Answer 5

Every second is different from the next.  There are similarities but it is different.  Man has had a huge impact on this earth and he wasn't even around 10 million years ago

Answer 6

The aspects of a litteral day are sunrise and sundown. That is what defines a day. But within each day, there's is always something different. You just got a day older. Your next door neighbor decided to get a dog today. That's different from yesterday. I met the love of my life today. He wasnt there yesterday. The defination of a day is constant and doesnt change but what happens within a day, now that, changes, always.

Answer 7

I disagree. I am here and you are here. That's the difference.
