[For one who could take on so many forms like Nyarlathotep, he preferred speaking only through either voice or text. Using video would show only one of his many faces and that hardly was the correct experience one should have when dealing with him. And so, this is how he'll address the residents of the Tower.]

Although the world has ended, we were never given an explanation of how, were we? I wonder. I'm sure you all have your own ideas on how it came to that. So, then. Who would like to begin? Let's make this a group discussion.

Is there some reason I should waste my time discussing a false assertion? I'll leave that to those foolish enough to believe it.

Sorry, I have no idea how to change my font, eheh...

What's true, though, is that even if we haven't yet reached an end, the end will come. Discussing "how" is just a fun way to kill time.

It's ok! I'm just using the kbd tag

All worlds have a finite existence, but when they no longer exist in their current state, it is not truly an "end", as their matter and energy will take on another form. Only those of limited perspective would consider this an "end".

Sorry, finals got in the way...

I see. Yes, that's a reasonably scientific perspective. Beyond one conclusion will always be a rebirth for the cycle to continue. However, even you must agree that those same worlds can't return to the way they were before. In my limited perspective, I'd still refer to that as an end. Just one of the many "ends" worlds have continuously experienced.

For the man of ambition who reaches out beyond the stars, it doesn't matter at all. For the man who prefers to keep his feet on the ground, that single end means everything.

No worries, not a problem!

I simply do not consider transference or transformation of matter and energy to be an end. The life and death of planets and even universes are part of a complex cycle, as you say.

Of course they cannot return to a previous state, and why should they? A static world would be a true end, because it would have ceased changing.
