Just wondering what passes the test of time? I personally have an old Casio watch and if you count fruit trees, those are pretty old too.

    I’m guessing metabolism causes the matter in a brain cell to turn over pretty often, even, and new neurons continue to grow throughout your life. Tooth enamel is the only part I know you can be reasonably sure is the same atoms as it’s always been. Eye lenses might have some chemically durable portion, I suppose.

    A person is like a river. Always the same thing, but always changing.
