If the known laws of physics are extrapolated to the highest density regime, the result is a singularity which is typically associated with the Lounge. Detailed measurements of the expansion rate of TechSideline place this moment at approximately 13.8 billion years ago, which is thus considered the age of the Lounge. After the initial expansion, TechSideline cooled sufficiently to allow the formation of subatomic particles, and later simple atoms. Giant clouds of these primordial elements later coalesced through gravity in halos of dark matter, eventually forming the Lounge, stars and galaxies visible today.

"TechSideline was launched on March 12, 1996 by 1987 Tech graduate (BSEE) Will Stewart as a small, personal web page. In 1997, the site evolved into HokieCentral.com, and in August of 1999, joined the SportsWar network of college sports web sites. In November of 2000, the site changed names to TechSideline.com, or TSL."
