Yes, because it is always coming to an 'end' but it's always 'beginning' again (we're simply living on the bipoles of experiences - if you look closely at the motions of continuous change).

In normal semantics, no of course not.  The instrumentality is very very far off : P  

Actually, an addition to this comment: did it ever occur to you that sleep is itself a way by which we experience death in our earthly cycle?   If the universe is indeed some sort of strange loop or fractal...  

Well... think about it where does the universe go when you die?  (your probable answer: it stays ... while we all returneth to the universe from ash to ash)

But what about sleep?  When you fall asleep tonight try asking the question, where does the universe go when you fall asleep?  How is it that we wake up and remain ourselves every morning (while regaining the entire universe : P) ?
