Technically change isn't a constant. Eventually everything will stop changing, because all of the atoms will have drifted too far apart to react to each other, and the universe will just be a thin soup of everything that will never touch anything ever again. Tomorrow is Wednesday, though, so only a few more days until the weekend!

If the atoms continue drifting, then that in itself is still change.

But by that point, cognition itself will be a physical impossibility, so is the the lack of change even real if there's nothing to conceptualize its truth, and thus capable of declaring: "Nothing will ever change anymore"?

You are mixing philosophy and fact. It doesn't matter what can or can't be perceived. If you blindfold yourself, the world doesn't go away.

Yeah, that really drives home the point that the only rule is that everything is temporary.
