The End of Existence

Consider a hypothetical pattern with the following property:

“Once formed, this pattern immediately destroys itself along with the entirety of Existence.”

Is such a pattern logically sound?
Yes, it is. This possibility affirms that Existence could potentially end, aligning with the principle that change is a fundamental property of Existence.

This does not imply that Existence must end, but the mere possibility of its end suggests that Existence cannot be truly eternal.
For if Existence were infinite, then all possibilities—including its own end—would have already occurred.

Thus, if Existence could not have lasted forever, it must have had a beginning.
Existence began at some point—for it clearly is—and it will end at some point, for it cannot last forever.
But do not despair, for Existence can begin anew. For if it began once, why should it not begin again?
