To Plato, can physical things be timeless? It says:

"For Plato, forms, such as beauty, are more real than any objects that imitate them. Though the forms are timeless and unchanging, physical things are in a constant change of existence. Where forms are unqualified perfection, physical things are qualified and conditioned.[13]"

Would that mean a physical thing like fire couldn't be timeless?

For Plato, fire as an idea or “form” would be timeless (whatever might be meant by that), but any actual fire not, for it may be extinguished and/or maybe change into something else. (What is fire, anyway?)
