Those are fundamental questions of qualitative nature, and scientific knowledge is about quantifications. And hereīs the Mother of all qualitative questions: Why did the universe come to be?
what do you mean by "permeability" in this context?

as for the how the universe came to be, well I have my personal belief and it makes total sense to me while at the same time letting me understand what happened/ is happening now and before this universe began. and it involves no "god" what so ever.
