imperishability
Cannot be destroyed
Imperishability is the quality of being unable to perish or decay—permanence beyond the reach of time or destruction.
The word appears most often in religious or philosophical contexts discussing the soul, divine truth, or eternal values: the imperishability of the spirit.
In practical use, it describes anything meant to last indefinitely: the imperishability of properly stored archival documents.
