" why couldnt the 'push' just be a circumstance such as why a wave breaks at a certain point.. toppling over when the depth vs height of wave reaches a certain ratio."

Essentiially because the equation which encompasses the creation of waves requires time. You'll find anything which transmutes one form of energy into another requires time. Time and enegery, time and pressure et cetera. What Seth is attempting to assert is that there wasn't enough time for the massive amounts of enegery to build for such an event as the big bang naturally because they would have dispersed just as rapidly. He's saying that the build up and release needed to be instantenous, which as the big bang was explained to me, is correct. More than correct, it is the only feasible way the big bang could have occoured.
