Of course, actually each _is_ an end (or a beginning), but by _being_ an end (or beginning), and being located (in space and/or time as appropriate) in the same place as it is itself located (as things generally are), each is where it is at (so to speak). However I think there may be some problems with the question. I guess it's probably ok to use "at" to inspecifically refer to space and/or time, if this is necessary? (I've used "end" this way in my answer.) However the concepts of the beginning of eternity and the end of time are not compatible (if they refer to the same universe in the same way). And I would suggest that an end has location but not substance, so isn't the kind of thing that can have a beginning (or at least if it does, then the beginning of the end and the end of the end are the same thing, namely the original end). And perhaps a place may have more than one end?   Of course, you change it into a little puzzle about the letter "e", if you added quotation marks around those phrases, but that would just be... well, stupid.   IP Logged AFamiliarFace Guest Re: Easy: Stupid   « Reply #1 on: Jul 26th, 2002, 11:51am » Quote Modify Remove Sillly me missed the obvious answer.  I thought it was talking about an edge.

I considered "edge" to refer exclusively to space, but electronics engineers use it to refer to time in relation to electronic signals, I guess that is what you were thinking of.

It's the letter "e"  beginning of   e ternity the end of   tim e  and spac e and so on.
