Interesting! The realm of cosmology is fascinating, isn't it? Thanks a ton for your input. Anyone else?

Interesting. I'm starting to get a clearer picture of the knowledge I'm lacking. Is there any observational or mathematical data to suggest that "Dark Energy" is actually -E or rather, -M? I'm also wondering the following: Would it also follow that for "most kinds" of energy there is...

Hahaha I wish! That's the $64m question, isn't it? Currently, the best guess we have for the mechanism of accelerating expansion is "dark energy", right? Disclaimer: I may be speculating in this next part, but I'm only trying to fully understand. Just as there is anti-matter, could there...

Causality says you can't have an "after" without a "before". Of course there was a "before" the "Big Bang"; we're just not sure *what*. The problem I'm trying to wrap my head around is the composition and state of the singularity that existed right before inflation started, combined with...

Interesting. To help me understand further, while I type out another reply: So, the early universe was not so much a "soup" of elementary particles, but an energy field?

"Infinite" inflation Hello all, I have a series of questions relating to the Big Bang and Inflation! First, a disclaimer: I am a science/astronomy/cosmology enthusiast, but I have no advanced education in the subjects. My knowledge is gleaned from as many books as I can read and shows I can...
