The unmoved mover is a concept advanced by Aristotle as a primary cause (or first uncaused cause) or "mover" of all the motion in the universe. As is implicit in the name, the unmoved mover moves other things, but is not itself moved by any prior action. In Book 12 of his Metaphysics, Aristotle describes the unmoved mover as being perfectly beautiful, indivisible, and contemplating only the perfect contemplation, self-contemplation.
By the end of the 16th century, the well-known question seemed to have been regarded as settled in the Christian world, based on the origin story of the Bible. In describing the creation of animals, it allows for a first something that did not come from something else.
This "primary cause" problem was quantified in terms of a world-famous "problem".
This "somethign and something else" are the crux of this problem.
This is also called God's X.
Where the biggest hint about what X is will be given in the picture.
X? Problem?
