Anyway, back OT, if Hitler was killed, it is fair to assume the USSR would have attempted to take over much of Europe. They were only our allies because we had a common enemy.

I see what you're saying, but I'm not thinking about it as a blast radius. Yeah, I agree with you that the big bang was the unfurling of space/time, but I'm just focusing on what was before that. There was no space and no time, but just focus in on that one concept, just the absolute nothingness that somehow is being replaced by our perception of space/time. Plus you're theory of everything expanding in proportion is insane. I mean insane in a mind-boggling, but entirely possible way, not implying that you should be in a a padded room with no sharp objects or anything.
