hotewig briefly covers this topic, as an unknown entity wishes to be something, go somewhere, do something, for things to change, and to invent time and space. But those concepts didn't even exist before the universe started. Those concepts only work within the framework of the universe and everything not existing all at once (separated by time). Somehow, it devised the concept of "change" in a sea of  where the concept of change didn't even exist. In fact, nothing would have been able to devise the concept of change, as thinking requires change in the form of movement of electricity across neurons, and in the energy expended thereof.
the only possible explanation i could have is that the essence of consciousness supercedes all of physical somethingness. that would actually explain a lot, would explain why consciousness is so freakin weird
