Checking on your proton after 1035 years is the ultimate long-term relationship status. The meme brilliantly plays on the mind-boggling stability of protons, which have a theoretical half-life exceeding 1033 years according to some Grand Unified Theories. That's roughly a trillion trillion trillion times the current age of the universe! Talk about commitment issues—even subatomic particles outperform us. The disappointment in finding zero evolution after waiting longer than the universe has existed is nuclear physics humor at its finest. Next time someone calls you impatient, just remind them you're not waiting around for proton decay.
