The why of it goes back to Feynman's explanation of magnetism to me. At some point we should be able to reach a set of fundamental laws that may be themselves be a manifestation of an unmeasurable set of fundamental laws. The takeaway I had from quantum mechanics was that, given infinite time and resources, we will reach a point where the answer is: "we can't know" or "that's the most basic truth we can ever show" Why time is unidirectional may be answered, but questions about why there is time in the first place or what came "before" it will forever be fundamentally beyond the grasp of our science.
