Besides Time, are there any other truly non-renewable resources?

Asked by josie (30934points) February 1st, 2011

The descriptive noun, “non-renewable resource” is often used for political purposes.

But let’s face it-as long as there is a physical universe, there will be resources. Earth is not the only rock in the cosmos, and the sun is not the only natural fusion reactor.

Except for one thing. There is one truly non-renewable thing in the universe.

Time.

Every instant that occurs, disappears in the next instant.
It is gone. Forever.
It can not be retrieved, reused, or recycled.

Besides time, are there any other truly non-renewable resources?
