The relevance of the history is on point. There is a little that may not be need when it talks about the replacement design but I think that adds a good aspect to it.

The article uses some little assumptions in the first paragraph. There is some biases toward the issue when it stated a better design is up for debate should of been more of more widely accepted telescope.

The design walk through needs more detail and a little underrepresented. The position of the parts to get a better picture of it would be more improvement. The article is missing dates of different designs aspects like when he finished. It’s also missing info of why he came to this design. What fails occurred on his path of design.

Link 3,8 is broken link 9 is to another wiki page so could use some source updates

some of the sources do not look the most back and some do not exist.

The destruction of the universe was in the form of fire. The time frame of destruction was never defined or given by any of the Stoics The fire destruction was to cleanse the universe.

The cleansing of the universe was to help create a pure universe. The flames would destroy everything in the universe. Then, everything would be rebuilt in the exact same way in every detail before the fire. After so long, the process by fire would happen again and again. This cleansing of the universe is infinite.

Causes of Ekpyrosis
There are three reasons why this belief was taught by the Greeks. The reasons come from the theories of Zeno and Cleanthes. The first cause is that the god of the universe keeps increasing in size making himself have to absorb himself when he gets too big. The second is that the sun and stars burn so hot and bright that they dry out the universe. With everything so dry, it causes the universe to catch fire burning everything up. Zeno states that the fire that destroys the universe will not destroy the very thing that gives itself life, which is the seas. Zeno's thought was to fix the issue caused by the theory of elemental anathymiasis. So the fire would not destroy the sea. The third is that when the planets all return to their position from when the universe was first created, it would also start the process of ekpyrosis.
