Little Bang,

That is a Really Good Question !

Sad, that the moment is less than a good answer. To effectively answer you without mostly opinions on my part or baseless conjecture would require a greater understanding of where both GR and QFT meet (Quantum Gravity). This is because you are very near Plank Time (if not already at it). Processes that were going on in that brief moment would require this knowledge / understanding.

It is for this reason, I do not like theorizing about what the universe was doing near that moment. Too much guesswork / conjecture / unfounded theories.

I start to lose confidence below 10^-6 seconds after (let alone log -43!).

Hypography?

Hypography [n.]: A combination of "hyperlink" and "bibliography" - ie, a list of links to electronic documents. Comparable to discography and bibliography, but not cartography.

We have been online since May 2000, and aim to be the best place to find and share science-related content of all kinds.

Share the love!
