Now if we take for example a match and light up a leave...both the match and the leave are turned into dust which makes you think all got wasted..but in reality..all the atoms are still there in the Universe and thus nothing is ever lost..things change composition...but nothing is ever lost...very possible the Universe has no end

The second law of thermodynamic depends on one little condition: it is correct for a closed system = no energy or matter may be transfered into or outside the boundaries of the system.
Hopefully nobody ever uses our universe as a fuel source..edit on 18-9-2012 by ManFromEurope because: (no reason given)

sorry ...still leaves the question where did the place come from...and us for that matter...anyway what the hell are we doing here....unfortunately most arguing and starting wars
Perhaps, but the observations show that it's not just composition that's changing, it's also density of matter and energy.

Agree it's possible, but the current hypotheses suggest an end that's not so bright. They could be wrong though, but if you're interested:
very possible the Universe has no end
I'd have more confidence in that prediction if we understood dark energy and dark matter, but since we don't yet, there is room for uncertainty. Some other alternative fates are listed at that link but the big freeze is the scientific consensus of the most likely fate, for now.
The Big Freeze is a scenario under which continued expansion results in a universe that asymptotically approaches absolute zero temperature. It could, in the absence of dark energy, occur only under a flat or hyperbolic geometry. With a positive cosmological constant, it could also occur in a closed universe. This scenario is currently the most commonly accepted theory within the scientific community. A related scenario is heat death, which states that the universe goes to a state of maximum entropy in which everything is evenly distributed, and there are no gradients — which are needed to sustain information processing, one form of which is life.

Actually, there was this gentleman named Albert Einstein, wh was able to demonstrate that energy and matter are indeed different states of the same thing.
Matter is in effect energy in a fairly stable form.
Take some uranium, mix and stir violently, and bada bing...

What makes you think there's a "why"?
It could just be a random mess, with no particular purpose.

I feel dumber for having read your post.
You're confusing matter (composed of atoms) with energy. The two are not the same. I suggest you research the 2nd law of thermodynamics and learn about the concept of "entropy".edit on 18-9-2012 by Awen24 because: (no reason given)
