I know that cosmic string have intense energy and are apparently leftovers from the big bang and can create a sort of gravitational time distortion field,

But HOW did these form from the Big Bang? Can their existence be backed up by other models?

Hi
Cosmic strings are one dimensional objects which have an very intensive energy confined in small string, which make the space -time around it very fuzzy. ( Perturbed )
It is a long subject you can start with this overview by Kibble http://arxiv.org/abs/hep-ph/9411342 and then see the title book cosmic strings and other Topological Defects by A. Vilenkin.
Good luck
 
This is an alert about a claim regarding the standard model, that got a burst of attention in the past two weeks. The original paper came out last year: "The electroweak η_W meson" by Gia Dvali, Archil Kobakhidze, Otari Sakhelashvili (2024) The recent follow-up and other responses are "η_W-meson from topological properties of the electroweak vacuum" by Dvali et al "Hiding in Plain Sight, the electroweak η_W" by Giacomo Cacciapaglia, Francesco Sannino, Jessica Turner "Astrophysical...
