Would super-conducting of space itself create electromagnet fields?

AI Thread Summary
The discussion explores whether superconductivity in space before the Big Bang could generate electromagnetic fields, considering the extreme temperatures of that era. It emphasizes that the conditions prior to the Big Bang are largely unknown, making it difficult to draw definitive conclusions. The conversation notes that at extremely high temperatures, matter exists as plasma, which inherently produces electric and magnetic fields due to the movement of charged particles. Superconductivity, as understood, is a property of matter that could potentially influence these fields under certain conditions. Ultimately, the relationship between superconductivity and the early universe remains speculative and complex.

Note, that I'm just asking for opinion. I do not fully know everything about everything - I am still in school and I am yet to develop the never-ending knowledge that you guys on here posses.

Would super-conducting of space itself create electromagnet fields? Space in the context is being referred to as before the "big-bang". Considering there was no sun at the time, the temperature would have been cold enough.

Secondly, if the big-bang theory was actually real. Then could the magnetic fields, gravity, etc be created through the use of super-conductivity? Noting that super-conductivity can also be caused through extreme temperatures - the first millions of years being 18 times hotter than the sun.

Superconductivity (as we define it) is a property of matter.

We don't know the conditions before the Big Bang. All we know is that something happened a long time ago. We can try a extrapolate back to way-back-when based on the present day evidence and the physics we know, but we can't know what the conditions were when whatever happened happened.

At extremely high temperatures, where atoms are ionized into bare nuclei and electrons, that state is a plasma and electric and magnetic fields are due to the charge of the nuclei and electrons, and their motions.
 
Thread 'Motional EMF in Faraday disc, co-rotating magnet axial mean flux'
So here is the motional EMF formula. Now I understand the standard Faraday paradox that an axis symmetric field source (like a speaker motor ring magnet) has a magnetic field that is frame invariant under rotation around axis of symmetry. The field is static whether you rotate the magnet or not. So far so good. What puzzles me is this , there is a term average magnetic flux or "azimuthal mean" , this term describes the average magnetic field through the area swept by the rotating Faraday...
It may be shown from the equations of electromagnetism, by James Clerk Maxwell in the 1860’s, that the speed of light in the vacuum of free space is related to electric permittivity (ϵ) and magnetic permeability (μ) by the equation: c=1/√( μ ϵ ) . This value is a constant for the vacuum of free space and is independent of the motion of the observer. It was this fact, in part, that led Albert Einstein to Special Relativity.
