Nah. Things deteriorate.

Given enough time it will be desintegrated by "random" events.

Example, I lost something in a volcano but the very volcano erupted and my thing was destroyed. After some billion years earth is eaten by the sun and the remaining molecules of the thing will be torn apart by it. The atoms that remain after that can even survive untill the black hole era but then they will converted to energy and swallowed by several black holes. Your thing stoped being that thing by the volcano event, you can't find it after that nor it's remains. If you think you still think you can, well then no one will survive the other events so your thing (what remains of it) isn't findable anymore because there is no one to find it. QED

It was lost and remained lost until it was destroyed. Conclusion, it was never found nor it can be found.

It could have been found before it was destroyed

It's not correct, it has never been correct, it will never be correct, and it is not even CLOSE to the correct way of using those words. How the fuck do so many people use 'of' instead of 'have'?

The worst part is that 90% of the time it's Americans making the mistake, whose native language is ENGLISH

Sorry to be a grammar nazi but it's literally the most nonsensical grammar issue of all time.

Nah, you’re wrong and no matter which clever way you try to spin it, you’re still wrong.

If it’s lost it can be found, matter can not be destroyed or created

Just because it will be found doesn't mean it will be found by you

What if you lose your phone in space and it’s traveling at 50,000m/s? That would be hard to find

Alfiy_wolf OP t1_j6izial wrote

Well you know where it is “space”

Then by your own reasoning locating a lost item like car keys is fixed by saying "its on earth"

Alfiy_wolf OP t1_j6jf9zo wrote

Depends if it’s stolen or not

turkishpresident t1_j6jmdhd wrote

Well if you generalize knowing the location of something as "in space" even stolen its on earth

Alfiy_wolf OP t1_j6ju1ok wrote

Yes but it’s f it’s stolen it’s not lost it’s stolen

I don't think I will ever find my potential again. If anyone has already found it then please use it is as you like.

"You know what I think? I think there's a big pile of things somewhere. I think there's a big constantly changing pile of things that are lost. You lose something, whoo-pop, it goes to the pile. And then you say, 'Oh look, there it is,' whoowhoowhoowhoowhoowhooph. Right back from the pile. And you didn't even know there was a pile."

But not all of them can be identified, not even by the person who lost it, cause they can be destroyed, altered or turned into ashes. You may have just swallowed someone's love letter from 1000 years ago.

Alfiy_wolf OP t1_j6m4v69 wrote

1000 years ago there was no love letters- basically trading a goat for a woman or something idk
