    Heraclitus
    Heraclitus was an ancient Greek philosopher from around 500 BCE who is famous for the idea that everything in the world is constantly changing. He believed that change and conflict are the fundamental nature of reality, often expressed in his famous saying that "you cannot step in the same river twice" because the river is always flowing and different. His ideas were influential in shaping Western philosophy and remain relevant today when we think about how nothing stays the same forever.
    Method of inquiry(referring to any approach humans use to try to understand things)
    A systematic way of investigating or studying something to try to learn the truth about it.
