Dark Matter / Dark Energy?
Just because BB is the standard cosmology does not prelude the possibility that it is just wrong as to what happened before 10^-43 seconds after the big bang. BB can say anything it wants about after the BB, but as far a I know, it takes no position about t=0. end.

[When the universe was the size of a Planck length?]

So, Bogie, here is an example of what I have been trying to show you (in several other threads as well at several different times...months)

Go ahead, and try to show how your EEP's can be 'all' of 'space' getting here at T=0 or T= 10 ^-43 or T= 10 ^-35 Inflation.

Well, don't feel bad, neither can mainstream, which is what Nereid meant when she said this.

I prefer a different way of describing the GR/QM incompatibility - there is a regime (the Planck) within which application of both GR and QM produces wild inconsistencies ("a confusion of infinites", if you will). However, the inconsistency is considerably deeper than the infinities - the very structures (of GR and QM) are incompatible. Or, if you prefer, there is no way to unite the two theories - we must abandon one, or both, and create a new theory (or theories) that have completely different structures (but which 'reduce to' GR and QM, respectively, in their limits).

[at T=0 or T= 10 ^-43 ot T= 10 ^-35 Inflation.]

So all I am suggesting is that you consider that GR is correct but that this is the real problem, and String/"M" theory can't do it here either.
