Questions for you, RW: these stress relievers occur in the spacetime bubble of our reality or outside of it, then intersect our spacetime to then disappear? Our 'BB' brought space and time into being, or the 'BB' happened in an already existing spacetime background?
Would be inside our continuum, and then something clicks and it's gone, taking the stress with it. But whatever causes the stress is still operating, so stress continues to build until *Pop* it's gone again. Like sand bars in the river.
