| − | I think Randall may be going for another pun with the title text, as "H" is the chemical symbol for hydrogen.--[[User:Dangerkeith3000|Dangerkeith3000]] ([[User talk:Dangerkeith3000|talk]]) 15:42, 19 October 2012 (UTC)

| − | I suspect that without Helium and a little Lithium we wouldn't even be here discussing this. These were both formed independently of Hydrogen shortly after the BB and without them the first stars would have been huge and short-lived...[[Special:Contributions/62.255.252.76|62.255.252.76]] 14:34, 19 October 2012 (UTC)

| | ::Actually, the amount of energy in any grocery or non-grocery (even in explosives) is significally lower that the amount of energy in hydrogen used for their creation. Sure, you need energy to grow crops, but where does that energy come from? Hydrogen fusion in Sun - which is first step of creating the carbon the crop is from (not the same crop, of course). -- [[User:Hkmaly|Hkmaly]] ([[User talk:Hkmaly|talk]]) 09:12, 19 October 2012 (UTC) | | ::Actually, the amount of energy in any grocery or non-grocery (even in explosives) is significally lower that the amount of energy in hydrogen used for their creation.

Using this ingredient list, The amount of time must exceed the amount of hydrogen (unless the product is hydrogen) thus Time should be listed first on the label. <small>— Comment by [[User:14:09, 19 October 2012|14:09, 19 October 2012]] ([[User talk:14:09, 19 October 2012|talk]]) Anthingy <span style="color:grey;">''(please sign your comments)''</span></small>

| |
| − | Time is not a proper ingredient like hydrogen. It is permitted in Randall's ingredient list by cartoon license.

| − | ----
| |
| − | "Because all matter was originally created through stellar nuclear fusion from hydrogen over time"
| |
| − | Nuclear fusion only explains the creation of all elements up to iron. Heavier elements are created by other processes:

| |
| − | [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/P-process]
| |
| − | :The fusion of heavier elements is still fusion, even if it takes a supernova to make it happen. Nothing in the cartoon suggests that only the fusion reactions found in stable stars apply, and even more complicated processes (fusion+fission, whatever) involves matter that ultimately has a hydrogen pedigree. (I am, however, intrigued by the comment about helium and lithium in the early universe. I have some of those around here somewhere.)

| |
| − | At the risk of nitpicking: The present composition of the universe is about 75% dark energy, 20% dark matter, and 5% baryons, i. e., hydrogen, helium, and everything else. In the early universe, the dark energy was less important. And in the very early universe, before the formation of elements or even subnuclear particles, there were just quantum fluctuations of some primordial field. Space, time, and energy are related by gravity. So maybe, if quantum gravity is ever figured out, it will turn out all you need is a fluctuation in time. But all this spoils the herbal pun.
