Jax Turien could sell anything to to anyone, now by the time the universe ended, Jax had already sold out the VIP packages.
ACT I: The Final Party
The year was 4000.
Humanity had long transcended the limits of Earth, colonizing the stars with the casual confidence of a species that believed it had outlived extinction. But even the cosmos had an expiration date, and according to the latest cosmological consensus, that date was… soon. Or at least soon enough to sell tickets.
Jax Turien leaned against the chrome railing of the Eternity, a ship so opulent it made the Titanic look like a fishing trawler. Orbiting the last stable pulsar in the Sagittarius Remnant, the vessel was set to embark on the most ambitious—and absurd—event ever conceived:
The End of Everything Gala.
Wormhole scientists had opened a stabilized rift into the universe’s future. Through it, you could see the End. A real-time panorama of entropy unfolding: stars freezing, black holes evaporating, matter unraveling into whispering radiation.
Aboard the ship were trillionaires, artists, rogue AIs, and one talking fungus who claimed to be the last philosopher of the Milky Way. They drank gravity-aged wine and debated whether existence had been worth the price of admission.
But Jax? Jax just checked room bookings and tried not to think about the growing thrum beneath the ship’s hull.
ACT II: The White Hole Reversal
No one expected what came next.
At precisely 03:33 Eternity Time, the wormhole flared.
The black spiral—previously passive and melancholic—reversed.
Something was pushing through.
Dr. Eliah, chief temporal physicist, shouted through the intercom. “It’s a white hole! But this isn’t ours—this is from the next universe.”
A gravitational lash whipped across the bow. Deck plates trembled. Glass domes cracked. The Eternity was being drawn in—not by suction, but by possibility. The white hole didn’t just eject matter. It invited it.
“Shut it down!” Jax yelled.
“We can’t!” came Eliah’s reply. “It’s self-sustaining! It’s not ending—it’s beginning!”
The wormhole wasn’t a window.
It was a womb.
ACT III: Birth Canal
The ship groaned like a whale caught in a time net. Guests screamed. The starboard thrusters ignited to full reverse, but it was too late.
Reality peeled.
The Eternity—and everything on it—was drawn into the white vortex.
As they passed through the event horizon, time reversed. Jax’s memories played backward. His birth, his loves, even his bad decisions rolled back like an old reel. For a moment, he remembered not being. Then remembered remembering.
And then… silence.
ACT IV: The New Horizon
Jax opened his eyes. Or what passed for eyes now. He had form, sort of. Thought, maybe.
Around him: colorless energy swirled, condensing into proto-galaxies. This wasn’t the end of the universe.
It was the next.
And somehow, impossibly, fragments of the Eternity—the grand ballroom, the frozen piano bar, even the fungus philosopher—floated amid the chaos.
Jax laughed, or maybe it was just the hum of quantum birth. Either way, he whispered into the unformed void:
“Book me a window seat. We’re doing this again.”
From nothing came stars.
From death, a party.
From the End of Everything, the start of something wonderful.

🔁 The Cyclical Nature of Time
In Hinduism, the destruction and rebirth of the universe is not a singular apocalyptic event but part of a cyclical cosmic process that spans infinite time. This concept is central to Hindu cosmology and is deeply philosophical and symbolic. Here’s a breakdown:
1. Time is Cyclical, Not Linear
Unlike the Abrahamic view of a linear creation-to-apocalypse timeline, Hinduism sees the universe as undergoing endless cycles of creation, preservation, destruction, and rebirth.
🕉️ The Trimurti: Three Cosmic Forces
These three deities personify the eternal functions of the universe:
| Deity | Role | Associated Force |
|---|---|---|
| Brahma | Creator | Creation (Srishti) |
| Vishnu | Preserver | Preservation (Sthiti) |
| Shiva | Destroyer/Transformer | Destruction & Renewal (Samhara) |
Shiva’s destruction is not evil—it is purifying and necessary for regeneration.
📿 The Yugas: Ages of the World
Each universal cycle includes four ages (called Yugas), which decline in virtue and length:
| Yuga | Characteristics | Length (in divine years) |
|---|---|---|
| Satya Yuga (Golden Age) | Truth and purity reign | 4,000 years + dawn/dusk |
| Treta Yuga | Decline begins | 3,000 years + dawn/dusk |
| Dvapara Yuga | More decline | 2,000 years + dawn/dusk |
| Kali Yuga (Current Age) | Corruption, darkness | 1,000 years + dawn/dusk |
We are currently in Kali Yuga, the darkest age, believed to last a total of 432,000 years.
🔥 Pralaya: The Cosmic Dissolution
Types of Pralaya (Destruction):
| Type | Scope | Occurs When |
|---|---|---|
| Naimittika Pralaya | Partial destruction (of beings and forms) | At the end of Brahma’s day |
| Prakritika Pralaya | Total dissolution into primal matter | At the end of Brahma’s life (100 Brahma years = 311 trillion human years) |
| Atyantika Pralaya | Liberation of the soul (moksha) | For individuals, when they transcend rebirth |
| Nitya Pralaya | Constant, moment-to-moment decay | Ongoing process in daily existence |
🌌 Brahma’s Day and Night
Each “day” of Lord Brahma, the creator, lasts 4.32 billion years, followed by a night of equal length. At the end of his day:
- All beings (including gods) are destroyed.
- The universe “sleeps” during his night.
- A new creation begins at dawn.
Brahma lives for 100 such years, after which Prakritika Pralaya dissolves even the gods and elemental matter into the formless Absolute (Brahman).
🪐 What Comes After Destruction?
After destruction, creation begins anew, like a cosmic breath. Time is eternal, and the cycle—Samsara, the wheel of birth and death—goes on until liberation (Moksha).
🧘 Philosophical Meaning
- Destruction is not the end—it is a transformation.
- Like a forest fire that clears space for new life, Samhara is sacred and essential.
- The ultimate goal is to transcend the cycles entirely and merge with the unchanging Brahman.
We are currently living in the Kali Yuga, the last and darkest of the four Yugas in Hindu cosmology.
🕰️ Kali Yuga – The Present Age
| Feature | Description |
|---|---|
| Name | Kali Yuga (Age of Vice or Darkness) |
| Current Position | We are said to be roughly 5,125 years into the Kali Yuga as of 2025 |
| Total Length | 432,000 human years |
| Time Remaining | ~426,875 years (approx.) |
| Started | Traditionally believed to have begun in 3102 BCE (death of Krishna) |
| Symbolism | Moral decay, spiritual ignorance, corruption, war, and materialism |
| Scriptural Markers | Dharma (righteousness) stands on only one of four legs, signifying imbalance |
📖 Kali Yuga in Scriptures
The Vishnu Purana, Bhagavata Purana, and Mahabharata describe Kali Yuga as a time when:
- Kings become tyrants.
- Wealth defines virtue.
- Deceit is seen as intelligence.
- Spirituality declines and rituals lose meaning.
- People suffer from anxiety, fear, and disease.
🕊️ What Comes After Kali Yuga?
At the end of Kali Yuga, it is said:
- Kalki, the 10th avatar of Vishnu, will appear.
- He will destroy evil, purify the world, and restore Dharma.
- A new Satya Yuga (Golden Age) will begin, restarting the cosmic cycle.
