Sorry about that Mike, I've edited the post.
I was in a bit of a rush; a funeral to attend and I would have been out all day.

It is a physical object.
Of some "others" but not all others.
The main subject is not of the same type as the "others".
It is not a negative feedback system.

udosuk wrote:By "ending" it should mean "termination". There are several types of "termination". For example, "end of story" or "end of project" means some abstract concept is completed. On the other hand "end" could also apply to physical objects, such as "dying" if the object has a life, or simply disappearing/destroyed it's just a lifeless thing.

Started with a Big Bang and a Big Bang can be the ending of others(being blown up).

If it's a physical object, how come you used the word "beginning"? What does the "beginning" of a physical object (assuming lifeless) means? The manufacturing? The edge?
If the latter, an example would be "the blade of a knife/cutter/pair of scissors", which creates "ends" of various other objects cut by the tool. Is this close to your intended answer?

1 - The "subject" is wetter at the beginning than at the end.
2 - Over 700 species inhabit the "subject".
