    The Answer (Galactus & Silver Surfer)

Only further provoking the Surfer's curiosity. Galactus eventually gave the Surfer permision to travel further into the deep unknown to find the answers which he saught. The Surfer explored the nothingness till he found a blackhole and flew into it. When he made it out of the storm he was back at the desolate planet, where he left Galactus, who is still standing there waiting for the surfer.

    "I tried to warn you." Galactus said as though expecting the Surfers return.

    "Warn me of what? Speak Galactus." Surfer questioned

    "Man has always known the answer. has it not been chronicled in science, song and legend since the dawn of time. Time and space are one. here is there. Then is now, and god is all." Galactus explained

    "At last I understand. I searched for a place. But there is no place. The answer lies within us." The surfer understood.
