So this may get long winded..
All of existence, as being described by physics works on a principle of relativity - nothing is really there unless an observer is present to measure an event (Special relativity, general relativity, even relational quantum mechanics). Events are dependent on the frame of reference of the observer.
The only "object" that seems to be frame of reference independent (at least in special relativity - not sure about general).. is a photon. Now - photons don't decay as they are massless (electrons are fundamental but just need a positron to get gone). They seem to be the only fundamental particle to stick around for ever, which because they are always at the speed of light is not a notion to them as the Lorentz factor doesn't allow for a numerical time value for them...
Therefore, because within this universe (I know - not saying anything else is out there beyond the effects of the Big Bang, but it can't be discounted), permanence is caused by existing in an absolute frame of reference, could that be extrapolated to the whole of existence with:
"Any concept, that cannot exists outside of a local frame of reference, is impermanent."
Quantum mechanics already lacks the Law of cause and effect, the equations are time independent, so could our universe of cause and effect simply be the result of an inability of a subset of existence to be described within an absolute frame of reference?! It makes sense if you see Time as just a statistical anomaly...
Alright, getting confused now... hope there is something there that made sense! :D
