[Marvel] Would anyone mind explaining what is Marvel's Infinity war. What are infinity stones?

An excerpt and a quote to get your head wrapped around what the stones are:

>The Infinity Stones are six immensely powerful objects tied to different aspects of the universe, created by the Cosmic Entities so that way, each of the stones can possess unique capabilities that have been enhanced and altered by various alien civilizations for over millennia of years.

>Before creation itself, there were six singularities. Then the universe exploded into existence, and the remnants of these systems were forged into concentrated ingots... Infinity Stones.

So in marvel certain abstract concepts are actually entities (such as Death and Eternity being actual entities). These are the Cosmic Entities, and they created the Infinity Stones from the singularities that existed before the universe was created. 

These stones can be wielded or even altered by beings within the universe that have enough power to do so. 

The Infinity War is one such incident that started with the creation of the Infinity Gauntlet. A powerful being, named Thanos, was capable of collecting all the stones together and setting them inside a golden gauntlet then, using their combined strength, wiped out half of all sentient life in an effort to impress the Cosmic Entity Death, whom he loved. 

This did not go over well. 

The Infinity War is a sequel to this story where a hero named Adam Warlock attempts to seperate his being into two: one good and one evil. He did this to wield the gauntlet with all the stones in it wisely and logically. 

This also did not go over well.
