Is there a relationship between temperature and gravity

Click For Summary
SUMMARY

The discussion centers on the relationship between temperature and gravity, particularly during the early moments of the Universe, specifically the first 10^-34 seconds after the Big Bang. At this time, the temperature reached approximately 100 million trillion trillion degrees, leading to the question of whether gravity existed prior to this epoch. Participants suggest that while there may be a negligible relationship between temperature and gravity, the complexity of grand unified theories complicates this inquiry. For deeper understanding, it is recommended to explore related forums focused on advanced theoretical physics.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of the Big Bang theory
  • Familiarity with grand unified theories (GUTs)
  • Basic knowledge of general relativity
  • Concepts of cosmology and early universe conditions
NEXT STEPS
  • Research the implications of the Big Bang on gravity and temperature
  • Study grand unified theories and their relationship to fundamental forces
  • Explore the concept of the Planck epoch in cosmology
  • Investigate advanced topics in general relativity and its effects on early universe conditions
USEFUL FOR

This discussion is beneficial for physicists, cosmologists, and students of theoretical physics who are exploring the fundamental forces of nature and their interrelationships during the early universe.

I know that it wasn't until the first 10-34 seconds after the birth of the Universe, that gravity " evolved" and at the time the temperature was 100 million trillion trillion degrees. Does that mean that within the first moments even before this time, gravity did not exist? And if so, then does that mean that there is a relationship between temperature and gravity?

I mean I'm sure it's pretty negligible, especially with those temperatures. But the question still remains...

how do you know that?

well... grand unified theories tend to be a little complicated... sure there might be some relation between temperature and gravity... but i guess it depends on what kind of relation exactly you are looking for.

It would be better to ask this question in the "beyond the standard model" forum. Cheers.
