Einstein, among other scientists, urged the USA to create the atomic bomb during WWII, due to fears that Nazi Germany would create one first. It basically kicked off the Manhattan project. Einstein held deep regrets about becoming involved in the arms race in any way, IIRC.

Also, I'm pretty sure the definition of infinity is incorrect in OP. Infinity is basically a concept to represent something that is unending. Doesn't have anything to do with expecting a change; it is a constant.

We live a miracle everyday by simply existing , nothing is pre determined so anything can happen hence " miracles ". Chances of you waking up each day and not dying in this universe is one in a trillion.... Well shit maybe there is a God after all.

So you're telling me that it's impossible to be locked in an endless cycle; a constant of life, and have a hope of or an expectation of something ending differently this time around? An illusion like free-will?

Nothing is pre-determined? I think that it's almost common knowledge that every beginning has an ending of some sort.
Also, what is the only time you are without choice in this life? The moment you are born! Some even say the moment you die is another moment you are without choice. The best rebuttal to this is "suicide", where you chose to opt out early. But this leads to more convoluted thoughts, like... well maybe it was all part of some divine plan beyond your comprehension or human ability to even fathom.

Pre-dertemination is about how something ends, not whether or not it ends.

Uh, no. I just explained to you what the concept of infinity was and the subtle nuance OP missed. I made no extrapolations as to the nature of life or philosophy.
You would have a lot of fun in the Philosophy, Sociology, & Psychology sub-forum, though.

You guys are splitting cunt hair with your semantics.
Predetermination is the ordaining of events beforehand.
The ending to any beginning seems like an event to me.

Expecting a change isn't the same as changing that which is unchangeable. It is called high hopes.
I'm going to use the same argument you guys use - "Uh no, you are just wrong"

No it doesn't. You are arguing that the claim every beginning has some sort of ending isn't a predetermined event because I don't know how exactly the ending goes. I am saying that just knowing there will be an ending that it's a predetermined event.
