Everything becomes dust over time. If you've seen the serial on the

man-made eventually turns back to the earth.

It isn't. When we find that there have been Novas and Super-Novas dating
back in time some 15million years and they're still happening today, the
expansion of the universe has a time limit before it deteriorates and
just hangs there for eternity.

Which reminds me. At lunch today, they had Fox News on the TV...Pelozi
must have come up with something really stupid, as it was all over the
news. Didn't get to listen to it, but I'll probably get to see it later
tonight after I get back from the drags.
