Happy new year to you to. I think you are referring to the answer to Gollum's riddle, as so many years have passed by:
This thing all things devours;
Birds, beasts, trees, flowers;
Gnaws iron, bites steel;
Grinds hard stones to meal;
Slays king, ruins town,
And beats mountain down.
The answer is time.
But maybe what is being gnawed away here instead are the industries of chemotherapy and the massive mountains of market manipulators. And what we are actually seeing is the (long) process of remaking the future in cancer treatment.
