Early universe Definition and 108 Threads

This is not a paper, but may be of interest for anyone into reionization. http://highz.ita.uni-heidelberg.de/pdf-files/Haiman.pdf

Was the moment of 'first-light' or 'Lights-on' which occurred in the early Universe when Matter started to Shine 'light from the first galaxies', equivilent to the first Gravitational Wave signature from the Big-Bang? If one was do insinuate that the first primordial outward 'inflation' wave...

The Schwarzschild Radius (R) is proportional to the mass M of the structure in question, and not its density. Let's suppose that the R(sun)=2 km for the sake of argument. And further let's suppose that if an amount of matter equal to our sun - M(sun) - is confined within a 2 km radius, it can...

When the universe expanded so that the quarks in it reached a separation of 10^-15 metres, did quark confinement create new quarks,and if so, what proportion of the quarks that galaxies are made of, were created by confinement?

I am struggling to come to terms with the theory of inflation. The figures I've been presented with mean that the Universe for a very short time expanded at a speed much greater than the speed of light. Is that possible?

thanks to MARCUS. this discussion started in S B and LQG, i thought i had better move to a more appropriate place. the recent discovery of a Z=10 galaxy, if confirmed means it was was formed when our universe was only 500MYs old. this paper discuses the discovery...

Einstein Solution c(n)*(1*1.001/1)*v*n=L=v*n=LW=v*(n-l^2)=LWH=v*(n-l^3)=LWHV The point of this equation is to represent the un-assisted method for the creation of matter in the early universe. Everything starts out as nothing. Nothing is made of imaginary particles. Imaginary...
