Why does the author include "being in" in the sentence. Hi, there is a sentence from my reading. I am not sure why the author includes "being in" in the sentence. Personally, the phase seems to be a bit of unnecessary. “About 13.5 billion years ago, matter, energy, time and space come into being in what is known as the Big Bang.”
