Scientifically speaking, can Stradivarius instruments (violin/cello/etc) last another...?

Stradivarius instruments can last forever if you take good care of them. If you go to the metropolitan museum of art they have some on display from the 1500s and 1600s. I would have to say anything can last forever if you take amazing care of it such as polish it a lot and don't bang it on stuff by accident.
