Everything lasts forever, Law of Conservation of Everything.
See, a glass bottle maybe holds beer, but when broken, it's a weapon. It is all relative to one's thinking if something has lasted.
I would have to say on a less philosophical, scientific note...that life will always be here. As per Bill Nye the science guy demonstrating from 4 different chemicals and putting electric current through them - creating proteins. It seems to me the way things work, it's inherent that the first step is sub-atomic particles, then atoms, the molecules, then life...it just seems like another step in the evolution of matter.
It's like counting. Say the number 4 is life. So it's inherent that when you count, that you're going to reach 4, and 4 is a step in couting, just like life in the universe is just another inborn step in the evolution of subatomic particles into something bigger and bigger, something more complex - a highly complex machine: us.
yeah sure ....but that's providing George Clooney, wearing nothing but a rose between his teeth and big smile, doesn't knock on your door when there's no one else home
Verite....have that old micro tested for radiation leaks....some of the old ones are not too safe they say....or if you have to stand close to it, wear a lead apron to protect the family jewels and other vital organs!
