• “When Everything Went Haywire” — A Trillionth of a Second Before the Big Bang

Maxwell Moe, astrophysicist, NASA Einstein Fellow, University of Arizona via David Kaiser and MIT:

“Reheating was an insane time, when everything went haywire,” says David Kaiser, the Germeshausen Professor of the History of Science and professor of physics at MIT. As the Big Bang theory goes, reports MIT, somewhere around 13.8 billion years ago the universe exploded into being, as an infinitely small, compact fireball of matter that cooled as it expanded, triggering reactions that cooked up the first stars and galaxies, and all the forms of matter that we see (and are) today.

“Reheating was a creative flourishing, when reality sprouted,” says I. As the Big Seed theory goes, reports this blog, somewhere around 13.8 billion years ago the universe emerged into being, as an infinitely small, compact point of matter that cooled as it expanded, triggering reactions that cooked up the first stars and galaxies, and all the forms of matter that we see (and are) today.
