Reply to comment by zambabamba in Correct me if i'm wrong, but need some people smarter than me to answer these questions about "The Big Bang". by zambabamba

I like Don Lincoln videos.

I get several things from this video.

  • Astronomers can see the CMB, visible 380,000 years after the Big Bang.

  • Explanations of the early universe from 380,000 years ago to 10-13 seconds after the Big Bang are based on observations in particle accelerators creating the hot, energetic conditions of the early universe. My point is that these explanations of the time before what astronomers can observe with telescopes are NOT only mathematics as some appear to claim.

  • Explanations from 10-13 to 10-43 seconds after the Big Bang are mathematics based on known laws of physics.

  • Known laws of physics break down at 10-43 seconds after the Big Bang. Descriptions of the universe before 10-43 are only speculation which at best don't contradict known observations, physics and mathematics.
