How long can things float?

Indefinitely. Someting will float as long as its density is less than that of the fluid it is suspended in. So a baloon will float until the volume decreases to the point it is more dense than air or diffusion exchanges enough gas for the same to happen. Some wood will float in water until it absorbs enough water to no longer be less dense than water.
