stars burn throughout the universe, black holes crush matter to nothing, objects collide in space and life ends - our lives are insignificant and ultimately of no consequence. When we burn and expend all the energy we have stored - isn't that life?

Imagine the universe has died and gone to heaven - we are merely spectators - something went bang and approximately 13.5 billion years later i am asking this question

Is death life?...
I believe that death and life are opposite to one another. Though they are opposite, they complement each other because without death there wouldn't be life, and without life, there wouldn't be death.

Black holes don't destroy matter/energy, they compress it into a tiny bit of space. Over time it's theorised that it slowly "leaks" out, allowing the energy to be "reborn" back into the "normal" universe.
Get the gist of what you say, and it's a fair metaphor for physical existence. But it doesn't preclude an afterlife/reincarnation, nor does it say anything about "purpose".

Death, as I know, is the end of everything, while some say death is living in another dimension of time, others say that our existence has come to an end. Ultimately, it's a mystery.

I believe that matter has always existed. Therefore we are made up of atoms that have been around forever. Our bodies may die, but we live on forever as part of some new form of life. Life and death is a continuous cycle.

Are you looking for proof of life after death? Trying to rationalise it, convince yourself by using logic? Feeling a wee bit scared that death is the end. A little sad because you love life and wished it would go on forever?
Mm, thought so. Sucks doesn't it? So join me in a chorus of my favourite song:
"Always look on the bright side of life..."

From a Christian point of view, yes.
Death in the physical world releases us from these worldly burdens into our permanent life, constructed of our own doing on the Earth.
That permanent life could be one of reward if we have done things the way God wanted us to, or it could be one totally and completely devoid of God and His influence. Now, THAT would be hell, would it not?

To be absent w/ the body is to be present w/ the Lord. Ur body itself is dead, but ur spirit goes on. In heaven u will be given a new body, because ur old sinful one will be on earth, u will be given a clean slate and a perfect start.

life is the quality that distinguishes a vital and functional being from a dead body
death is a permanent cessation of all vital functions : the end of life -- compare

we are suppose to live forever how god made us, god does
not kill or does not give death, he gives life. evil kills ,
sometimes god does not stand in evils way, (he watches evil
kill ) because for his own reasons, and also because he
knows heaven is a better place for us so when we die alot of
us go toheaven
