 3. The loop is run with a single [`$loop->run()`](#run) call at the end of the program.
 
+### Loop
+
+The `Loop` class exists as a convenient global accessor for the event loop.
+
+#### get()
+
+The `get(): LoopInterface` method is the preferred way to get and use the event loop. With 
+it there is no need to always pass the loop around anymore.

+```php
+use React\EventLoop\Loop;
+
+Loop::get()->addTimer(0.02, function () {
