The key, as it turns out, is for 'time' to be able to progress, and that is of the initial, extreme grouping order of the Beginning of time as drawn by the...

Why anything exists is answered. Some illustrations.To comprehend the Cosmos, one must, hence,Find the why and how of its existence,For, incomplete answers will never dress,Invariably wrong, by incompleteness.Forever Stuff could not have been always,For then there is no reason for its plays,Its total amount, and its certain stance;It had to be created, in balance.
