Jennings : It's a distinct possibility.
“Somehow, when the universe was about a tenth of a trillionth of a second old, the laws of nature skewed ever-so-slightly in the direction of matter.”
The only real way to do “speculative science” like this is to project the current conditions into the past and extrapolate what the universe must have been like then. Once you make the desperate leap to assuming that the most basic conditions like the physical laws must have been different in the past, you have compromised your own extrapolation. There is absolutely no way to determine anything about the past beyond the point where you postulate the physical laws were different, since you have no way to determine what those physical laws might have been like, or what the ramifications of those changes would have been.
You know you have reached the pinnacle of your scientific career when you posit a theory that predicts you won’t find any evidence to support it.
