I have read the time line several times for the BB:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Timeline_of_the_Big_Bang
And I am unclear what were the initial ingredients at or before the 10-43 seconds. All I can get from this is high temperature which means high energy or high vibrational energy in matter.
Were there any forms of matter at this stage? e.g. free quarks, leptons and bosons?
So all I can see for the initial ingredients are:
1. Inflation which seems to greatly increase the size of the Universe. Is it correct to say it created spacetime?
2. Energy. I am not sure what this form of energy is eg. vibrational or radiation?
3. Elementary particles? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Elementary_particle
