ive heard that they can actually make lightbulbs to last a looong time, they just dont because if they did then you wouldnt need to replace y our lightbulbs, therefore the lightbulb instustry wouldnt make any money.

if they filled the bulb completely with nitrogen, or other inert , non oxidizing gas, they would pretty much last forever. but in order to keep the lighting industry alive, they put a few molecules of oxygen into each bulb to oxidize the filiment, making it essentially rusting it away with time.
