Everything is possible if you lie.
No that's not true, that's impossible
Search your feelings. You know it to be true.
The universe appears to have a finite age in the Big Bang model and can be calculated to give an approximate value. Particles however, do not seem to have any correlation with time. The lifespan of a fundamental particle, without colliding with its anti-particle through annihilation, appears to be infinite.
“Be humble for you are made of earth. Be noble for you are made of stars.”
—Serbian proverb
We're all truly children of the stars.
As if I didn't already feel too old -_-
