Immortality narratives in fiction treat the protagonist's death as impossible, world-changing, incomprehensible. This fact flips the binary: if Chuck Norris dies (the impossible), the universe responds not with divine judgment or narrative conclusion, but with simple darkness. Not apocalyptic transformation—just darkness. The universe doesn't dramatically react; it simply turns off. His death isn't an event; it's an extinction event without the event.

Philosopher Dr. Elena Rostov published a paper on existential finality, arguing that "the idea of Chuck Norris creates light, so his absence creates darkness by simple absence of creation." She concluded: "We don't need God if we have Chuck Norris. And we understand the void perfectly well without him—we've lived in it." Her paper influenced exactly no one. She was cited by a single blog that also discussed cryptids and conspiracy theories.

This taps into the uncanny: Chuck Norris's presence is so totalizing that his absence means total negation. He's not just powerful—his very existence is the thing preventing cosmic dark. If he died, light wouldn't be replaced with evil; it would be replaced with nothing. The universe doesn't go to war; it goes dormant.
