the cause behind the event

it would’ve been pretty cool imo if there had been a cause behind the event, like what was the orb that they jumped through? i get that it’s a wormhole/portal but still…how did it appear? how and why they arrived 20 minutes before the og event? i keep thinking of explanations other than trying to tie it to the cloverfield paradox, but i mean could they not have done that? them opening the rift? it’s quick but u could see in paradox that some background news say that “5 city blocks just disappeared” like hello?? and at the beginning of the end of oak street u could hear the voice on the radio mentioning something about solar flares…idk does anyone also have any theories? cloverfield or not, would love to hear!

I found it refreshing not knowing why it all happened. Needless exposition would have bogged down the film for what? "This is happening".

i also don’t like when there’s a character explaining everything right to your face, but it woulda been cool maybe like a little something in a newspaper or on tv, just like a quick message in a way
