Originally posted by One Big MobI just logged in to see how much you typed, but since it's short on what to address, I'll just point out the following (maybe I'll get back to the time-travel tomorrow, but it's pretty useless and a tangential part of the argument anyway)
So your argument is that the big bang is actually nothing because the words potential were used? Also the two halves weren't directed at Surfer in case the initial blast was actually something?
Seems you have your bases covered.You realize creating all matter and energy includes creating other forms of energy, correct? That doesn't mean that the initial blast for whatever reason didn't contain energy, it means that it contained all the matter and energy to form other forms of matter. You need an immense release of energy to accomplish this in the first place. You know this too. And every showing of the big bang showed an explosion of energy, or an explosion of something.
The fact that "big bang" was used more than once to describe this phenomenon shows it was an explosion, and it was likened to how Earth scientists describe the big bang, which means it's as we define it, as opposed to a... silent expanse?
This part here, Bran:

Wait, wait, wait...Hold on.
I think I figured it out. Why you don't see it.
You do KNOW that the Big-Bang isn't an ACTUAL explosion, right? That it's just space expanding in non-space/time? In fact, the Universe is expanding right now, second by second. It's filling up, for a lack of a better word, nothingness.
You're imagining dynamite, when it's actually a balloon with points on it, expanding into nothingness (as in, literal nothingness. It's not even space. Space/time doesn't exist outside the Universe), and the points getting further away.
It's dilatation, if it helps for a clear visualization.
Before you do anything read this, because otherwise you won't understand what I'm explaining:

We know for a fact that the Universe was a Void only with potential matter/energy, but at that point not materialized.
So you have Surfer sitting with Galactus's ship as an empty void of potential energy is expanding around him, and you take that as...a durability feat? I can't understand how the presentation of the scene didn't tip you off that Surfer literally wasn't hit with anything. He was surrounded by empty space spreading at rapid rate.
Surfer was basically standing dead-center in an empty balloon that was expanding around him.
But seriously, read that shit. I think by the end of it, you'll agree with me that....you didn't really see the big bang in the way it is. Look at it explained from the point of kinetic energy, laws of physics etc...to understand that 'being hit by space expanding' is idiotic.
