What about isotopic decay or the stopping of a spinning sphere? Of course, in the first instance, some electrons leave the quantum shield at a velocity while the rest remains unchanged, and in the second the circular motion is stopped but the sphere as a whole maintains its position. Change does involve the movement of SOME of what changes, but not ALL.
