I rest my case.
Shall we move on to Big Bang Theory as well?

Welcome to inverted self-potentializing energy.
Think of it like this: if you know the kinetic energy of an object, you can derive its potential energy. Likewise, if you know the potential energy, you can figure out the kinetic. Only one value is truly necessary to say both things. Likewise, you have a Universe filled with time-space, and from this it is implied that there is something beyond its infinitely-huge (or small for a mindfuck) borders... but the reality is that you are just looking at a single value (the entire Universe), and thereby creating the other (what's past the Universe since the Universe must have something past it?) in your mind as an explanation. It's like having the number 1, and thus, having the number -1 because its equidistant (in mathematical theory) from 0. Really, you only need 1, and the minus sign is just a matter of relative perception.
