Different paths and different points of view yield different answers. After discussing the ubiquity of vibration and energy in the physical world, we notice the universe can be described in terms of information on the one hand and by geometry and mathematics on the other hand. It is also pointed out that the fundamental building blocks of matter are elementary particles which reorganized themselves into more complex structures such as rocks, trees, animals and humans. The "fundamentality" of consciousness and the importance of time, events and causality is also addressed. The beauty is that all these concepts are related to each other (by logic and physical laws).
