Thanks Pluto, your post led me to a bunch of interesting topics on wikipedia and elsewhere. Reading an
article by Alan Guth on Edge.Org at the moment (which may have some pertinence).
The article (by Guth) led me to consider the uniformity (and anisotropies) of the
CMB.
If the idea that a photon/particle from a previous generation of matter created the currently observable universe is true, it seems almost certain that the current generation of matter would have to have been created by a single interaction due to the uniformity of the CMB
unless the initiating reaction caused a cascade of high energy interactions over a large area prior to hydrogen formation (at which point that area of the universe became transparent).
Gotta go, brain is thinking, but BBQs do not start themselves... or do they?
