Except:
1. Given an infinite timespan, the Reapers are meaningless because eventually something would beat them.
2. It's generally accepted that the universe has a finite lifespan. There's quite a few scientific theories on how it will end, but it's more a "which one will make it to the finish line first" than an "are any of these really possible?" thing.
3. Even if the universe itself won't die, we'll eventually be without stars. The gas clouds that form them are finite. One day, there will be no stars. Try to imagine organic life surviving without stars.
4. Scientists also theorize that time is finite. In a few billion years, everything will stop. Forever. Time itself will be over.
Need I go on? There's lots of ways things can end before synthetics go Skynet on us. So no, it is not inevitable. You can't kill something that's already dead.
I'm a bit of a time-junkie and I have to tell you that your logic here is wrong. Hate to do it as I am very fond of you
I have read many books and papers on this subject. I'm a little obsessed.
You see your statements about time are wrong. Time is not finite, the very idea is absurd if you take it to it's logical conclusion. It's a very complex subject and some scientists are clueless about it, but I will always defer to the main man on this subject.
Albert Einstien said "To differentiate between past, present and future is merely an illusion. No matter how persistant".
Translation = time is an illussion. Or at least in the way we like to conceptualize it.
Let me put it this way. You state "everything will stop. Forever". Think about that for a second. Everything will stop for how long? "Forever"? Ok so time will cease to exists for... an infintite amount of time?
No they were on the right track, you see all logic does begin to callapse when applied to linear things. If you think about infinity and it's implications for long enough you will either go mad, or become enlightened
There can never be a time where there is no time. There can never be an amount of time were time does not exist.
The problem is that you are trying to apply linear thinking to a non-linear concept.
Time is infinite, and becasue of that eveything else is also. However it is because of the illusion of how we percieve time (a false past/present/future division) that things appear to be anything other than infinite.
To use another geat quote - "If the doore of perception were cleansed every thing would appear to man as it is, infinite."
Hoevere your point about not applying this logic to Mass Effect as it will acollapse all logic stands strong
