Time and the Big Bang


Recommended Posts

As near as our ability to determine we can only go back as far as 10-43 seconds. Prior to that our known physics breaks down. Singularity condition. (Not the same as the point like BH singularity.)

 

The actual time scale depends on the Gut model used. The most common albeit one of the first is the Georgie Glashow model based on SO(5) standard model of particles.

 

This is the chronology wiki presents.

 

The break down here is pretty much the same

Here is wikis graphical timeline.

The above is well presented in Weinbergs "First three minutes"

Here is a good review of GUT theories.

it delves into a few variations including super symmetric SO(5) and SO(10) GUT.
