AtD translation: by whatever terrible singularity in the smooth flow of Time had opened to them

[Jochen Stremmel]

Yes, and yes, Mike – I'm reading it your way: "enabled somehow by whatever
(...), by whatever terrible singularity (...) [that] had opened to them" –
feeling at the same time that the implying is rather necessary, the leaving
out is making the sentence round as it were.
