Why does light decay quadratically and not linearly? Why are the laws of physics algebraic at all? Why did the Big Bang happen? Ask enough why's and get to: we just don't know. Turtles all the way down.

The first one is well known. It's because it's radiating in three dimensions.

They are algebraic because our minds today can see only algebraic relationships between events.

The big bang is a "scientific myth" - a story that describes the creation of the world in sciency terms.
