How a thing can be changed, how it is possible that upon one state existing in one point of time, an opposite state should follow in another point of time--of this we have not the smallest conception a priorI. There is requisite for this the knowledge of real powers, which can only be given empirically; for example, knowledge of moving forces, or, in other words, of certain successive phenomena (as movements) which indicate the presence of such forces.

 But in the Critique itself it will be demonstrated, not hypothetically, but apodeictically, from the nature of our representations of space and time. Such corrections are common with regard to all the senses; and indeed it were impossible we could ever make use of language, or communicate our sentiments to one another, did we not correct the momentary appearances of things, and overlook our present situation. Grant that a thing absolutely begins to be; we must then have a point of time in which it was not.
