Indestructible material? Electro-magnetic bolts...
(eg, Lightning - it may only be there for a second, but it's on earth, real and is a physical manifestation...)
The strongest material..?
That's for debate, but I'd say Carbon (like lead or diamonds) Nanotubes...
Ultimately culminating in Graphine.
Have a read:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carbon_nanotube
(Graphine's latice is composed of these...
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Graphine )
It's been proven to be at least 50x stronger than Steel...
A material for the future.
Carbon Fibre is light and strong - Carbon Nanotubes are an advancement of that...
They're physical and real and are generally accepted as the strongest physical material on Earth.
But, they're not indestructible...
Mind, Connor McCloud of the Clan McCloud - The Highlander (if you've seen the films) - he's pretty indestructible... He is "The One" after all...
He makes good use of Energy whenever he has the "Quickening"...
So:
The only truly - Scientifically PROVED - thing on Earth that is indestructible is ANY FORM OF ENERGY.
The most obvious physical manifestation of which is Electrical or Electromagnetic...
Has anyone managed, so far, to destroy a bolt of Lightning for the time it is Physically Real..?
I'd be pretty shocked if they had...
Has anyone yet been able to destroy gravity or magnetism?
It [energy] will change it's form, but it cannot be destroyed.
The sun provides energy for the plants which provide energy for the animals which provide energy for the power plants which provide energy for your home which provides energy for your batteries in your TV remote which provides energy for your TV which provides energy for your mind and the universe through it's radiation energy...
From the universe, back to the universe.
Your soul can be broken, many people have been broken throughout history.
Concepts such as Religion have been destroyed.
Because the religion changed or all the believers died...
But their Energy, when they are dead, has provided decompositor bacteria and scavengers and the Earth's soil and plants with energy in the form of nourishment...
Energy is indestructible - it is why we can only harness it, channel it and change it, and not create it...
We need to release the Potential Energy of a Source in order to transmute it into the type of Energy we want (usually electrical, but kinetic, potential / gravatonic, heat, mechanical, etc...).
It is the only thing that we know of, not just on Earth, but in the Universe, that is truly Indestructible...
It's a shame we can't physically manifest energy - only harness it's power.
If we could (maybe in the future) do this, we would have a truly indestructible material.
Of course, as the Universe expends all it's energy - all that will remain is Nothing.
Therefore, without Energy - Nothing is Indestructible.
Good Question!
Thanks!

Also, Tardigrades are virtually indestructable. They can survive in space for 10 days w/out food or water, they can survive inside a volcano or in Antartica, almost indestructible.

water.
H2O
take it apart, do things with each molecule.
when any of the molecules meet again, there is water.
oceans are full of it and wreak havoc on watercraft and waterfronts/beaches during storms and hurricanes.
underground springs and rivers have capabilities of washing away masses of land, even causing earthquakes.
water is indestructible.
it can be taken apart into its separate components, but it will always form water when the two components come in contact later on down the road, through the centuries, and along the millenium.

I think there is nothin in this world that is indestructible, and diamond is still the strongest material known to human.

a plastic cup ...
lmao ...

Some natural things to me remain indestructible like Waters, Daylight, Darkness, Air(which only can be contaminated)
Thanks

Still ????
Nothing is indestructible.
When we get sucked into the sun you'll see.....

Nothing, any thing made by man or nature can be unmade.
Graphene, It is the strongest known material.
