Everything that has a beginning has to have an end.
But why? Does the universe have an end? Why can we not live forever without fear of being roasted alive by our own sun?

Is this something from the Matrix?

Well, I tried to think of something that has a beginning but no end, but I couldn't think of anything.

Good judgment comes from experience and experience comes from bad judgment.

Entropy. The universe began at (relatively) 0 entropy, but entropy always increases without end.

I thinkw e closed that one ages ago with the conclusions that
A) "Life" doesn't equal little greeen men but can be a 1 micro meter blob of green goo.
B) Life will be very common in the universe
C) How common intelligent life is is anybodys guess
D) How common humanoid type life is is anybodys guess

We just don't know how much advantage humanoid type life gives to a species... and we really need to if we are to make any resonable assumptions on its rarity/commonness
