  • In the old Star Wars Expanded Universe, there was mention of a Shawken Device which, if operable, could destroy the universe.

    This has led me to conclude that the universe probably isn’t infinite.

    In an infinite universe, all possible things should be happening at the same time. This would necessarily mean that someone invented a device/mechanism/reaction that could destroy the universe, and successfully activated it, thus ending the universe.

    There are only two possible conclusions that I can draw from this thought experiment, which are not mutually exclusive:

    1. The universe is not infinite, and/or
    2. It is not possible to destroy the universe.
