The Beginning of Time

As far as can be theorized by many Scholars across the Galaxy, The Universe is a self consistent recycler the main tenants of traditional physics hold true.

• Matter cannot be Created or Destroyed
• Energy can be transferred in interactions of Baryonic Matter and non-baryonic matter alike, and similarly cannot be destroyed, but tends towards being dispersed evenly through Entropy.

Black Holes, through acting as a entrance to the Rift-Way and therefore, The Beginning, Bring any matter caught within its spaghettifying pull screaming into the past to supply the early universe with material.

All Matter is the recycled as result of innumerable Cycles within the universe, Recombined into new forms, their echoes leaving distinct impressions in a new fledgling universe, that of our own. No clear definition of beginning or end but a constant churning of matter.
