Nothing lasts forever. The Sun will eventually burnt out and start to cool. Long before that life on Earth would have already vanished. Even the entire universe will stop cooling by expansion and start heating by contraction. Growth and decay as the aging process is inevitable for all living things. All types of machinery will breakdown even if properly maintained. These are the results of physical fatigue. It is a cumulative effect when stress is repeatedly applied even below the tensile strength at specified number of cycles. Cycles are inversely proportional to the level of stress or strain, the greater the stress the lesser the cycles.
The same breakdown process can also happen between permanent magnets during repeated collisions. When magnetic fatigue happens, a single magnet breaks into two such that the broken ends repel each other implying the same polarity: N-N or S-S. Since the original piece already has one N and one S, one of the broken pieces must necessarily undergo sudden spontaneous spin flips at all local infinitesimal magnetic domain. Even though the broken ends fit perfectly their identical polarity prevent them from ever joining again. Other alternative explanations would involve quantum statistics and nuclear magnetic resonance together with Boltzmann’s temperature equilibrium for subsystems.
