Thus the energy that “decayed” into the various forms and states by which it is recognized today would have been in a somewhat different state (or states). It seems to be widely accepted that a foundational property of this “event” was the initiation of the evolution of space and time (or spacetime, if you prefer). As the aging of the spawn of this quantum fluctuation of some unspecifiable medium in some unspecifiable domain progressed, it appeared to have properties that generated limits on energy densities which were accommodated by rates of expansion of space over time and possessed the capability in a quantum-like manifestation that allowed the original energy to suffer symmetry breaking. Thus first the gravitational force separated from the GUF at T0 + 10^-43 seconds followed by the other forces at later times.

At the first breaking of symmetry, quark and electron classes of objects and their anti-matter counterparts were precipitated out of the “primordial” energy and were continually annihilating each other with the higher order particles prevented from forming by the intense temperature of the period. This environment rapidly became photonic in nature as the rate of expansion tended to seek equilibrium commensurate with the temperature and energy density allowed by the geometric properties of space. As space grew in size, thermodynamic cooling allowed matter to form in an ionic state. Having posited that there was no space prior to the quantum fluctuation, it seems reasonable to assume that space was initiated at little, if any, more than a vanishingly small volume of no greater than (containable within) a Euclidean sphere of Planck radius. It seems reasonable to assume that the energy density within this sphere was at the maximum allowed by the intrinsic properties of this Euclidean space and was forced to expand by the large amount of energy being provided into this space by the progenitor quantum fluctuation. The time rate of increase of this volume and its energy content would have been controlled by and exerted control on the nature of this primordial time.

Sometime later (around T0 + 10^-35 ++ seconds) the expansion (inflation) had proceeded sufficiently to accommodate the energy density requirements imposed on the early universe such that the rate of expansion slowed to allow the radius of the universe to increase at less than light speed. A reasonable assumption is that, measured with today’s rulers, the radius of the universe was several light years in magnitude thus forever separating many parts of the universe from many others in terms of mutual information transfer. The quantum fluctuation that initiated this whole thing was of sufficient duration to continue adding mass by crinkling space in ways exactly appropriate to the particle being added.

If the foregoing is an approximately accurate description of mainstream thinking about big bang initiation, do the laws of physics permit the partitioning and orientation, however unlikely, of the primordial electric and magnetic fields associated with the particles and antiparticles that are continually forming and annihilating such that matter and antimatter would separate and remain separated over distances that would prevent their mutual annihilation and allow volumes of antimatter to remain in place in the current era? If so, would the CP anomaly be explained?
