Because of entropy/law of thermodynamics, there's only a finite amount of energy in the universe. One day, all that energy will be used up, and no more work can be done. No more life can exist. Even a human being uploaded to a computer can't exist forever because the computer can't be powered forever when all the energy will eventually be depleted.

How do you guys feel about that?

Okay. How do you feel about eternal return? Basically, the universe dies via heat death but after that is reborn again. It's a never-ending cycle. If we live in such an infinite universe, you have lived your same life over and over again for an infinite amount of times. But it also means you haven't been born an infinite amount of times. Plus in an infinite amount of your lives, an infinite amount of different things have happened. All the things that have happened and that can happen, will happen again and again because the universe is reborn an infinite amount of times. To me there's something disturbing about that.

How do we know this is not the first universe to have existed? If thats true enjoy this life the best you can because it will happen all over again.what a better question is, Why does the universe start over and how?who or what is hitting that reset button.

There's no way of knowing. But to me it just seems extremely unlikely that this is the first time the universe has existed. I don't believe in the God explanation. It makes more sense to me that we live in an infinite universe. People don't hesitate to believe in an infinite divine being. How about an infinite non-divine universe? There's a lot we don't understand about the universe. For example, dark matter and dark energy. It's possible something to do with those two things might cause a big crunch and subsequent big bang.

For such an infinite universe there is order and not choas.did we just get lucky or did someone design it that way. Im not a big believer in god but this kinda stuff makes me scratch my head.

What you perceive and order, and indeed chaos is nothing more than the artifact of your own perspective.
