Is all in the state of decay?

There you have the 2nd (I think) law od thermodynamics.\n\nLook it up, but it's the commonly quoted one about entropy always increasing in a closed system.\n\nIn laymans terms, the amount of disorder always increases, as things naturally seek a lower energy state.  Eventually, when the universe is 'run down' it will consist only of a uniform soup of particles.\n\nFortunately we don't have to worry about that quite yet!"

A lot of radioactive elements have decayed and no longer exist in nature.  Those that remain, have half lives long enough that they have not completely decayed.  238-Uranium, for example, has a half life of 4.468x10^9 years, which is about the age of the earth.  Only one-half of the original uranium has decayed.

most of the people who are dead have remained so

False, only the top layer are dead.

Dead...been dead for some time. However, DO NOT THROW THEM AWAY!!!! Take notice how everything in fashion comes full circle!

Radio-active decay is measured with half lives, that is a time when half the matter of a sample would have disintegrated.  That is a rate, which is not a speed, so the speed of light is totally unrelated.

I totally know what you mean. I used to think about that all the time, but I would just exhaust myself. I think the only sure thing we know is that we know nothing. I am a bit of an agnostic, but certainly don't think that everything just happened by chance. Was there ever nothing? If so how did we ever get something? If scientist say there is an end to the universe, what is it like a wall? Plexi Glass that you just bounce of of? Or is it like Pacman where you just pop out on the other side? There is so much that is just unexplainable in t his world. I am just glad to be a part of it. I have pretty much given up on trying to figure it all out. While I am in no hurry to die, I am somewhat excited at the possibilty of everything being answered once I go. Good luck in your search for answers. We need the Teacher's Edition of the bible, one with all the answers in the margins( I wonder how much that would go for on eBay?)

Site's down at the moment, but this will tell all.

How the heck are we supposed to know.  We're NOT DEAD YET!!!!!!!

For me?  Rot and decay.  For the rest of the world?  Life goes on.

never ..Nothing begins nothing ends..All we see are changes from one form to another..

cool its years of decay

Real Good Question. Since we know that we dont see the present state of the object, it is very much possible that it does not exist anymore. Probably we will realize it very much later.
