    the last effect is the first cause?

    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cosmological_argument

    What about ...

    the big bang

    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Big_Bang

    followed by the big crunch

    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Big_Crunch

    and then another big bang, etc.?



    And then there are the Yuga ...

    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yuga

    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yuga_Cycle

    1) creation
    2) maintenance
    3) destruction
    4) conquest of destruction and rebirth of creation

    How about fitting an eternal maintenance?
