SUMMARY
Energy became quantized immediately after the Big Bang, specifically at T = 0 + Planck time (10^-43 seconds). During this period, the fundamental rules of quantum physics governed the universe, indicating that energy was already discrete. The discussion highlights the significance of early symmetry breaking in the context of quantum mechanics, affirming that quantum principles were in effect from the very beginning of the universe.
