*grin* Thanks for the sentiment, it's actually an old quote from a character I used to play that I thought I'd post in the vague hope of sparking some kind of commentary about the duality of the statement or suchlike. I'm rather peachy today, nothing really to worry about except I'm off to the gym in 5 mins to sweat it up (fnar)
I prefer the literal meaning, which is far truer than the one I replied to initially. You can't make something out of nothing (in a strictly physical sense), so nothing really is eternal.
Of course, you can (or I can using those wonderful things called Womens' Logic Plus a Rather Dusty Physics Degree) argue the opposite as well. WIth conservation of energy / momentum etc, and all that good stuff Einstein thought about, everything lasts forever, either as matter or energy, or some combination. You started off in a star somewhere.
