Someone actually asked me an interesting question. Does light accelerate to its top speed or is its acceleration at 0 and is always at the top speed. Please assume we are in a vacuum, and you slam two protons together to release light, does that light start of at max speed or does it...

Michio Kaku (see link) says that the Higgs Boson is the reason for the Big Bang. Is that true? I am not initiated enough in cosmology to know if I believe that a Higgs Boson triggered the Big Bang. Thanks...

Wow, that was a very good response. Thank you for taking time to help me understand this issue. I was surprised to read that breaking of the symmetry did not cause the big bang, but the big bang gave rise to the symmetry that eventually broke. Thus, the original singularity can only be...

what caused gravity to break away from the other forces to disintegrate the symmetry of the singularity? in doing so, space-time was created. I know my question is so elementary and perhaps even dumb. but, just in the simpliest terms, assuming there was a singularity, why did the symmetry...
