I'm just hoping it's not the wrath of God or something. I hate it when they try to make literal deus ex machinas. Also, it feels like a cheap, lazy solution.
More likely though, we won't know what the exact cause is. Because it's "not important to the ongoing story", I'd wager.
Personally though? If I was writing the story I'd give up the goods on how it all began at the climax of the story. I detest loose ends, and I want the audience to come away feeling like they've had a full meal, nothing less.
But that's just my own preferences. Some people like a bit of mystery, which, for some stories, is okay.
I just think that when the characters within the story start wondering about it, and they don't get to find out, the audience feels cheated. One of my rules for storytelling is; if it's of interest to the characters, it's of interest to the audience.
And I don't like to cheat my audience.
