What is reality, how can it end, how can it have a border between reality and what? if there is an end to reality, what is beyond that end, similarly how can reality as it gets smaller, end, how can smallness like bigness have a border, if say the border of smallness is x then where does half x exist, since anything can be divided there is no end to the small just as there is no end to the big. Therefore if reality is infinite how can it have a beginning or end, how can it have a creator, such a creator would have to exist outside of reality, where would that be? And who created this creator, another creator and so on, more infinite progressions.
It can be truely frightening to consider the true nature of reality but unless you do, you end up clinging to delusions, the delusion that 'god created the universe, or that the big bang created time, it's all intellectual hubris the desire to give certainty where none exists.
