Specifically, Newton's theory that light and matter are inter-convertible, which first appeared in Newton's Third Book of Opticks in 1718. The reason for this was the onset of the human Age of Reason, which would eventually culminate in the invention of the atomic bomb. Not wanting to be responsible for such massive devastation, even obliteration, Destruction abandoned his realm and his responsibilities sometime after 1718. When Destruction saw the mind of man turn toward science, he foresaw the inevitable use of science as a tool for destruction on a planetary scale. He often fulfilled the role of big brother, he stopped arguments, comforted those during their change, and showered Despair with his affection. He is Dream’s immediate younger sibling but is in many ways wiser and more aware of the Endless' place in the universe. He is the embodiment of destruction itself, the greatest instrument of change, fulfilling his purpose to destroy in order that new things may be created. ![]() Like his siblings, Destruction is neither a living being nor a god. ![]() Destruction of the Endless came into existence shortly after the creation of the universe, following his older siblings Destiny, Death, and Dream. ![]()
