scientists in the twenty-fourth century CE.
(Star Trek: Voyager)
13,500,017,903-
Proprieters of Milliways, the Restaurant at
the End of the Universe, establish the Big Bang Burger Bar at this point,
transported from the far future and held in a stable region of artificial
sub-space which protects its patrons from the radiation and other forces
existing at this time. Time travellers from the future may visit the Burger
Bar and witness the birth of the Universe as often as they like, without
ever meeting themselves. (This is ofcourse completely impossible.) They
may also deposit funds in a special account, then journey back to their
native times and reap mega-fortunes in accrued compound interest. (This
is also completely impossible.)
(The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy)
Event One as observed by the Time Lords. The
universe begins as a singularity of condensed, superheated plasmic matter,
which begins to expand outward in an explosion which continues for billions
of years (colloquially and somewhat inaccurately referred to as the "Big
Bang"). Two forces, one good, one evil, are born at this moment. The evil
force lives on, while the fate of the good force remains unknown. The Leptonic
Era, the first age of the universe, begins, as the precursors of the first
matter and energy particles form. Many rare and unstable elements such
as helium-3 are present, but are lost as the universe and its physical
laws continue to take shape.
(Doctor Who)
Time and Space as we know them take form and
expand outward with the universe. While many colloquially see Time as structured
like a string, a more accurate model would be of string which is bundled
together into a ball. "Time travel" is then essentially the process of
leaping back and forth between the points on the string. This axiom forms
the basis for the "string theory" of Dr. Sam Beckett, who will use it in
his Quantum Leap Project on twentieth-century Earth.
(Quantum Leap)
Recovered from his injuries and having failed
in his original plan to destroy the various versions of Earth and absorb
their energy, the Anti-Monitor arrives to undo the birth of Time and
prevent Creation itself. The heroes from six different Earths arrive,
led by the Spectre. The heroes, thanks to the Spectre and other mystic
heroes such as Dr. Fate, Thunderbolt, Phantom Stranger and Zatanna, keep
the Anti-Monitor from winning his cosmic arm-wrestling match with the Spectre.
The Spectre wins and all future history is reset, with the Multi-Earths
being merged into one reality.

forces present.

The Garm, an ursine species from the previous
universe, arrive in this time period. Their gigantic ship, Terminus, is
forced to dump its fuel into the unstable void of the infant universe and
attempt a time jump. Terminus is thrown billions of years into the future
to the center of the universe. Its fuel reacts with the proto-elements
present and creates the first basic stable atoms.
(Doctor Who)
As the universe takes form, the Black and White
Guardians come into being. One seeks to preserve the order and harmony
of the universe; the other seeks to cast it into eternal chaos. Time Lords
from the previous universe also appear, having used time travel technology
to escape the destruction of the previous universe. They find they have
omnipotent powers owing to the differing physical laws of this universe,
and become the Great Old Ones. One Great Old One, Saraqazel, ventures even
further, into the next universe after this one. The Eternals, omnipotent
beings from beyond time and space who have no concept of good or evil,
also appear in our universe about this time.
(Doctor Who)
Also brought to this reality from the previous universe is a humanoid
from the Planer Taa Group. Mutated by the new physical laws and powerful
energies present, he eventually mutates into Galactus, a gigantic being
of immense powers who feeds on the life force of entire worlds to sustain
himself.

Forseeing that periods of chaos will beset
the new Universe, the White Guardian creates the Key to Time, a device
which has powers of transformation and teleportation, and also the ability
to manipulate time itself. To prevent his opposite from using the device
to increase the level of chaos in the Universe, the White Guardian splits
the key into six segments and scatters them throughout space and time.
The Black Guardian sets the mysterious entity known as the Shadow at the
beginning of time to wait for the moment when the six segments will be
reunited.
