Every event across the Half-Life series can be traced back to the Resonance Cascade as a common root cause. The Resonance Cascade is, therefore, arguably the single most significant event in the entire Half-Life timeline. It later sparked Portal Storms across the Earth and ultimately led to the Seven Hour War and opened the way for the Combine's invasion of the planet. The Resonance Cascade was the cause of not only the inter-dimensional rift but also all following events. While appearing to have been a contained event, it did have repercussions across the entire planet. The Xen crystal sample studied at Black Mesa resonated strongly enough to tear a rift between the border world, Xen and Earth. If crystals (such as those from the Border World Xen) resonate beyond a certain threshold, it can open dimensional rifts and portals. When excited by specific forms of energy of the correct frequency, it will resonate, and the amplitude of the vibrations will grow.
