AI Thread Summary
The discussion centers on the nature of the universe before the first Planck time, assuming the Big Bang occurred.

Let's take a step back - it is trivial to see the sun in radio. An old analog TV, a set of "rabbit ears" antenna, and you're good to go. Point the antenna at the sun (i.e. the ears are perpendicular to it) and there is...
