There is no such thing as permanent, is that what you mean?

You seem to be making absolute statements abut things inherently relative. For example, I can think of an example of achieving 100% of something, if I choose a small enough something.

I think it is interesting to ponder the quote "Remember, Man, that thou art Dust---" Science has analyzed common dust found in homes and businesses and found it to be at least 75% composed of detritus from the human body. Remember, Dust, that thou art Man...?
What is it which makes what I state:
"seem to be making absolute statements abut things inherently relative,"
over and above
"One cannot achieve 100% percent of anything"?
Why did you not present this
example of achieving 100% of something?
Is an atom small enough to be presented?

You said
One cannot achieve 100% percent of anything in the material world

I may have been thrown by your choice of the word achieve.
