It's the Guardian of Forever.
What got me thinking was the "portals" used for SB19.
The Guardian Can:
1. See through different DIMENSIONS, and TIME (I just rewatched City on the Edge of Forever a few days ago to confirm.)
2. Effects time like ripples in water (Pointed out by Spock, that time flows like a river etc , like I said just watched the Episode).
3. Any little change, can cause disaster.
Now, here is what cements this for me. In City on the Edge of Forever, Kirk and Spock were brought to the exact moment of convergence with Doctor McCoy and Keiler, but they had to make the choice.
The Song is just that, causing a convergence of everything and everyone to FOCUS on the same goal.
Just like the Time Ship in Voyager (Year of Hell). When a change is made in time, it takes a few milliseconds, or seconds for that change to take affect. We never learned the extent of the technology of the Guardian.
Someone, or some race, tried to either replicate the Tech, or reverse engineered it. OR Starfleet or some other race tried to cross over to the MU and tried to use Dilithium from there, which caused the imbalance, as all things from the MU vibrate at a different Quantum signature.
OR, they tried to use the Guardian tech to find Dilithium, or cross over somewhere. It either didn't work or something nefarious happened because of it.
THAT SMALL change, or whatever they did, caused Dilithium to just blow.
NOW in the preview for hte next episode, Michael is going to BOOKER's planet, to help him with something. BUT I BET, GROUND ZERO for the Burn is the Guardian Planet.
They used Tallos IV as a call back last season, I have no doubt this will be another TOS callback.
