Title: On the Puzzle of Change
Location: ILLC seminar room F1.15, Science Park 107, Amsterdam
Target audience: MSc Logic and PhD students

The puzzle of change goes like so. A candle changes from straight to bent; the candle was straight, the candle is bent. But nothing can be both straight and bent. Contradiction! I will discuss the puzzle, its possible solutions, and the consequences it has for objects, properties, and time.
