I would request surreptitious57 that you provide a specific example that clearly shows that reality can go altogether out of existence
were it possible for it to cease to exist then that state of non existence would be the new reality. And so while the physical state may
change the definition remains the same. Whatever exists is reality even if it is nothing at all and so non existence can also be reality
Although it is not physically possible for it violates the laws of physics so saying so purely for the sake of argument and nothing else
First let me apologize as I thought you were implying just the opposite. Let us move on from there.
So you're in accord with what the scientists have been saying about matter and energy, that they can neither be created nor destroyed, but converted from matter into energy and back into matter again.
From your POV, you're implying that you're not 100% with the Big Bang Theory, that the universe has always been around in some shape or form forever. That's my understanding of your POV.
Now we come to a more interesting discussion, your being. I'm assuming you support the idea of consciousness. If so, then it would be natural to ask what form did your consciousness take before you were born and what form would it have after you die? If you don't have consciousness, then what are you?
