Of course I did. The half-life of uranium-238 is 4.468 billion years. Which half? Indeterminate.
No, you didn't.

Haha, I thought so. But just checking, I can never tell with you. Your sense of humor is drier than my own land-turtle turtle shell sandpapered to fuck for all eternity.

This all comes down to how you are defining "existence" then.

You can define it however you like, it's still not going to outlive the beings that employ it as a concept.

What do you mean by "freedom" of movement? The ball is caused to move just like we are.
Quote:It doesn't lack freedom of movement but I'd agree that it does indeed lack freedom of absolute movement.
Try to link this idea with free will.
Define how it even has any relative "freedom" of movement. It simply has movement.
I don't link it to "free will" because "free will" is about will as well as freedom, balls are not.
