In the Beginning

So Plant says to Tree who is next to him "where are we from?"

Tree replies " we grew from this earth, we are made up of the same things as the universe; tiny little codes, that influences and is influenced by all that is around it. These codes create things!"

This dot held all the original codes to the universe, and when it exploded one moment, it shattered and spread itself outward and onward."
