it is true man only one constant in the universe. Something happens or it doesn't happen

A ray has no ending. I'd speak of the origins/destiny of the universe, but I can't begin to fathom either...

hate will never end. there will always be hatred.

Now, that's assuming that sentience will always be around. Without sentience, you cannot have hate. If we're the only sentient planet in the universe (unlikely), and we keep burning fossil fuels and whatnot...

Now, if humanity does persevere forever, somehow, I'd jokingly submit that capitalism and the farce of affirmative action will be around forever.

hmmm true, true....i wonder how long humanity will last

Well, we're currently consuming something like 70 million barrels of oil a day, and that'll undoubtedly increase as economies grow in places like rural China and India. This past spring, last time I read about the proposed drilling in Alaska, there were an estimated 1.213 trillion barrels of oil in "proven reserves" left. If you do the math - 1213e^9 / 70e^6 = 17328.5 days. Since there are 365.25 a year, of course, you get 47 years. That means we'll be out of oil in 2050 as things are right now.

Yes, we have coal and tar sands that'll supply us with a little bit more, but we're really looking at the end of our oil supply really soon, and our needs for things such as machine lubes, jet fuel, diesel fuel, and gasoline for emergency vehicles aren't going away.

I really don't see the effort from our government necessary for upcoming sources of fueling such as hydrogen, bio-diesel, or ethanol, and I don't think that I will until too late. The pessimist in me is saying that, while we won't be killed off, serious set-backs are going to occur after the next few decades.

Also, of course, the US keeps on pissing everyone off, and global warfare could do wonders for the extermination of our species.

well a book has a beginning and an end. Its usually most favored by man, something that has a conclusion. Imagine a symphony that never stopped? that would be annoying. Even we arent eternal, we begin and end, the day begins and ends, ceremonies begin and end. Our cultures are mostly built upon things that dont last forever, and thus are appreciated accordingly. The only thing that lasts eternally are things either made up by us, or dont require something else to thrive. I love that whole statement though, it brings up so many issues. (everything that has a beginning has an end) Its all about closure (emotionally, physically etc)

I think most of the things I start, I never finish. So, I start the dishes but it has no end. I start to pick-up my dirty socks but there's no end.

1 divided by 3 doesn't have an end
nor does "Pi"
and i'm pretty sure stupidity doesn't have an end either 😛
and time

Time doesn't have an end? I'm not saying it does have one, but how do you know that?

you don't you never do, that's something that can't be proven

but Since noone can prodict what tomorrow will bring, you can't state that something has no end. tomorrow it can be over, however unlikely you can never be sure.

"One can tell how many apples are in tree but one can never tell how many trees are in an apple"

true and you can't tell how many apples there are gonna be on that tree tomorrow

a line and a circle have no end, nor a beginning

again today that is true, but noone knows what tomorrow will bring

indeed the chance is very small that the whole idea of circles and lines will have changed by tomorrow but you never know

I think that statement can be considered very true, all depending on what you are talking about.

well It has to do with empirism

that suggests that a
synthetic judgement a priori doesn't exist, you can't explain it.

but almost anything we accept as a law of nature is a synthetic judgement a priori.

(I can explain futher should you like)
