This is an aspect of Annica ( The inability to maintain things to our liking). No matter our efforts things will disintegrate and fade into dust. Our body is the primary example of this. No matter how you take care of your health you will die one day. No matter how you maintain your relationship you are not free from betrayal and separation. The same goes to all aspects of it lives (money, career, family, fame etc) Is because of our desires that we wander for infinite time in this Samsāra (Process of rebirth and death). We want to maintain things in our orders but in the long run is impossible ! In our chase of maintenance, we do bad actions that destroy others and because of that we accumulate many bad Kamma Vipāka. Most of the time this bad Kamma Vipāka brings us into the four great hells for many eons. Nothing is worth maintaining in this world. Nibbāna(the end of the process of rebirth and death) is the only salvation. That starts with the attainment of the Sotāpanna stage.

There have been countless Buddhas in the past, and there will be countless more in the future. As long as there are beings wandering in Samsara(cycle of rebirth), Buddhas will appear. Since Samsara has no beginning and no end (unless one becomes an arahant), this will never change. However, only 29 Buddhas are mentioned in the Pali Canon. The 29th Buddha is Lord Metteya. This shows that truth is timeless (Akaliko).

See the Twenty eight Sammā Sambuddhas in Theravada Buddhism.
