There are irreducible facts in he physical world for which no
explanation is possible and comprehensible by our intellects. Wny?
Suppose every fact had an explantion. Then the explantion would have an
explantion and so on. Infiite regress. So we have to stop the explantion
chain somewhere and accept certain facts as just so.
There are causes which are not caused, else an infinite regression.
