Aristotele used to call this primum movens.
> Since every change has a cause, the origin of the chain of causes and effects must be a cause without cause (first cause), which is a primary source of motion without motion.
The thought is logical, but there are also cosmological theories that do not presuppose the existence of a "first unmoved mover".

In the oscillating models, the universe follows infinite, or indefinite, self-sustaining cycles.
The time may emerge only in a thermodynamic or statistical context.
A sequence of events could "simply" only imply a correlation of adjacent quantum energy states.
