Phoebe and Her Unicorn by Dana Simpson for August 09, 2020

Big Bang? You mean the Horrendous Space Kablooie, don’t you?

“Our whole universe was in a hot dense state, then nearly 14 billion years ago, expansion started, WAIT!The earth began to cool, the autotrophs began to drool. Neanderthals developed tools, we built a wall (we built the pyramids). Math, science history, unraveling the mysteries. That all started with a big bang! BANG!”

The nothing could have just continued being nothing. But that plan failed.

I wonder what the unicorn version of the TV show Big Bang Theory is like (aside from the same as the humans’ BBT, but with unicorns).

You can’t get over on Marigold, NO sir!

Ah, well, it’s as believable as the actual Big Bang theory

So do any of these unicorns remember what it was like not to exist?

So the unicorns created during the Big Bang then decided to create worlds so th ey could have somewhere to live and then created stars so that their worlds could orbit them to gain light and heat. Hmmm…am I making unicorns out to be Gods? Hmmm…maybe the Big Bang created God…

I exist – oh drat? That is so hackneyed. The PHE character gets very weak swimming in MAR POV here. Pointland King is much more vibrant on this attitude (see Flatland). Dana think! In your universe of selfish unicorns – WHAT IS THE 1st THING a unicorn does when it opens its eyes? It has to be hard contrast to PHE for both characters to be strong. The classic unicorn asks why, then drops a soft muzzle into the child maiden’s hand. Try the bang= everyone trying to dance in the same space and falling down in blast of sparkles

I believe in the Big Fireworks Show. It’s like the Big Bang, but instead of a single singularity, there’s multiple points filled with either matter or antimatter.

For a moment I thought she was going to say, “First there was nothing . . . then, suddenly, SPARKLES!”

Well, it would suck to be the ONLY things that existed.

Quite frankly, I prefer Marigold’s version to the “standard” version.

Sheldon Cooper would be proud.

Oddly enough – at least one version of the Big Bang really isn’t all that different from the unicorn version. Backed up by real science and everything!
