Ok, for today's lesson we are going to...just kidding.
The truth is, I'm on a secret mission...ok, not really, but since I spent the night at a holiday inn express I'm going to explain the nature of the Universe:
There are 16 fundamental particles that comprise our reality, 4 are termed Bosons and 12 are termed Fermions...the numerologists can have a go at that.
These two types of particles have very different natures, the Bosons all want to be just alike, same energy levels which means same frequencies, same momentum, etc. The Fermions on the other hand all want to be different, if they come in contact with each they don't group together like the Bosons, they literally spin off their own styles (they are called 1/2 spin particles).
We can defer to an analogue, Schroedinger's Box. We have a box which may or may not have a cat in it but that is totally irrelevant anyway.
We have a box that measures 6ft x 6ft x 6ft. The top half is painted yellow and the bottom half is painted blue. This is a very big fundamental particle under the watchful eye of a security guard sitting patiently in his rocking chair hopefully with his eyes open and DD, who is flitting around the Universe in his customized Millennial Falcon.
The box bored with the whole thing decides to do a 360 degree spin.
Everything should be the same as before, correct? The box did a complete spin back to its original resting place, correct. One would expect that, but that is not how our Universe works. With a complete turn the box now has a blue top half and a yellow bottom half. One might properly ask, 'What tha' f*ck!' But that's just the way it is...fermions want to be different and they will go to extreme lengths to be so up to and including requiring the Universe to take the box for another 360 spin to return it to its original state. And that requirement exists because when all is said and done, the Watchman and DD 'should' see the same thing before as after and the Universe needs this to differentiate one 'thing' from another 'thing'. Without that 'magical' peculiarity, none of us would exist.
Now you know 'the rest of the story' ... :)
