Impermanence I

Today I was walking with H., we looked at the sky and we were wondering if in the millions of years of existence of our planet, there has ever been two identical clouds.....

In the millions of years of the universe existence, has there been two moments in which the universe has been identical?

Does this continuous change anything to do with impermanence?
If there are not two moments in which the universe was identical, that means that there is no permanence.....not only it does not exists now, but there has never been....
That means that from the very beginning of the universe, impermanence has been a constant feature......how could we expect it now???

And is there a relationship between impermanence and infinite potential (or it could be called multiplicity)?. They seem related to me. If there haven´t been two identical moments in such a length of time, that means a tremendous capacity to generate diversity......so, maybe, after all, impermanence is related to creativity......

Only our mind tends to want to put everything in a continuity, in a changeless state......by putting this total multiplicity into patterns.....
