Hey everyone, I've never been too deeply involved with reading and researching physics and philosphy; that's not to say that I don't do my fair share of light reading of various articles and topics on the same subjects.

-Just to avoid any obvious pointing out at my claims, but...

Reductionism- It can be applied to everything and anything, but lets say- atoms, the only relevance to them is the product of themselves.
Since a human is made up of atoms, as well as the brain, those atoms create an emotional connection to all sorts- people, objects etc. (All of which are also made up of atoms) If one of these people die, or the objects are lost or destroyed, the human feels upset and their belief is that the person or object doesn't exist anymore.

Matter cannot be created nor destroyed. (And it's pretty safe to say that matter cannot feel grief, either, nor any knowledge of what it makes up).

My whole point seems quite obscured reading over, but to cut to the chase-
Matter is not subject to time.

I had the idea from thinking about the interest given to an object which is particularly old. Let's say someone hands you a rock and tells you it's 4 million years old. Why not pick up a tennis ball and say it's existed since the dawn of time? Since it has, matter doesn't know that humans would call it a tennis ball and say it's bright green.

It's safe to say that unless matter CAN be destroyed, if in 100 billion years time the human race is no more and neither is the Earth, then there could be a small rock floating through endless space that was once part of 3,000,000 different sea creatures, a thick layer of oil, transported inside a drum, turned to plastic, was an Evian bottle drank from by a dozen humans and played with by a dog, spent the rest of it's years in a landfill and eventually became lost from any emotional connection to humans what-so-ever-

you find it all this time later and ask "What's going on, man?"
I swear to God it will say "Nothing dude, EVER."
(With a little imagination)
It just seems real that all our connection to time is merely fabrication. (As well as everything else I suppose)

Any thoughts? Or obvious things to point out?
