Inflationary Theory and Accelerated Expansion

[Little Bang]

Firecracker, you bring up a rather interesting point. If the first instant of the expansion was a sea of quarks they would still have to obey the laws of motion since they have mass. That limits the expansion to less than C. To me it looks like we need a combination of events, maybe something like an expanding magnetic field of infinite strength with some unknown mechanism for creating quarks out of this field and of course C would have to be infinite but slowing down as the universe fills with quarks. We don't know the conditions of the beginning and may never know. All we can do at this point is guess.

 

Theory 5, the universe means everything that we can see, I can't see anything outside our universe, so can't look at another universe. In my opinion space is a function of the mass that it contains.
