"nothing lasts forever"- but exactly what is "forever"?

Forever is all the time you can muster up for your life. Forever isn't the same for everyone.

Forever is just what is,the eternal present,the now.We,being trapped in a 3D world,bound by time,have a hard time realizing that time is an effect of this realm,and that many other regions of the cosmos do not have a thing called "time".In other words,time is real to us,but for others,it has no effect or doesn't exist.So forever is just the natural state of things that exist outside of time.

In this question "forever" has ended.

There will always be what we humans perceive as "forever"; until it's time ends.

We can only perceive in our mortal minds what is forever. But no human in their body has ever lived it. The same is true for all human circumstances.

Nothing lasts forever? Hmmm.... is that true?

Eternity must be forever and certainly eternity is forever. Unless there's a limited edition of eternity maybe? No, I don't think there is.

As a matter of fact, in a sense everything is forever. We move through time and space, but everything ever made is always there, it doesn't disappear. We leave the time and space where it is, when it's happening, but it remains always.

Forever is the name we've given to a period of time that's immeasurable. If nothing lasts forever, then forever outlives everything.

"nothing lasts forever"- but exactly what is "forever"?

~~~ Making such a vague and impossible word somewhat meaningful, is to say that 'forever' = the literally 'timeless' moment of all existence!

The 'duration' of Universal existence = 'forever' = Here! Now!

It is ALWAYS Here! Now!

Every moment of existence exists Now!

"The Laws of Nature are not rules controlling the metamorphosis of what is, into what will be. They are descriptions of patterns that exist, all at once... " - Genius; the Life and Science of Richard Feynman

All 'eternity' at once; Here! Now!!

There is only one moment (Planck moment; 10^-43/sec; "almost" one billion trillion trillion trillionths of a second!!!) of the entirety of existence/Reality/the Universe!

All existence, ever, is one, literally, 'timeless' moment!

Now!

So the common, poetic, meaning of 'forever' is nothing like it's intended meaning!

And 'nothing' doesn't exist, to last any time at all!

There is no infinite infinity. Infinities are by their nature irrational and cancel themselves out. An infinite list of oranges includes one that is an apple and one that is a bicycle and one that is freedom and one that is the concept of orange. An infinite list includes everything that exists and all possible and impossible opposites. Thus the universe is finite because an infinite universe is self-cancelling unless it is an infinite NON-EXISTENCE in which case it cancels itself out and here we are.

Forever is non-existence.

Forever is another form of infinity - in this case an infinity of time. Any use of the concept of infinity immediately removes what follows from the realm of rationality or even comprehension by us.

Oh very young

What will you leave us this time?

You're only dancing on this earth for a short while

And though your dreams may toss and turn you now

They will vanish away like your daddy's best jeans

Denim blue fading up to the sky

And though you want them to last forever

You know they never will

You know they never will

And the patches make the goodbye harder still

Oh very young

What will you leave us this time?

There'll never be a better chance to change your mind

And if you want this world to see a better day

Will you carry the words of love with you?

Will you ride the great white bird into heaven?

And though you want to last forever

You know you never will

You know you never will

And the goodbye makes the journey harder still

Will you carry the words of love with you?

Goodbye, goodbye, goodbye

Oh very young

What will you leave us this time?

You're only dancing on this earth for a short while

Oh very young

What will you leave us this time?

YUSUF ISLAM, CAT STEVENS

for all time in the future, or for as long as you can imagine

They promised to love each other forever.

INFORMAL for a long time, usually longer than you would like

The movie seemed to go on forever.
