It seems pretty straightforward to me, there's nothing that says that the most basic physical rules were broken in anyway, right? So therefore, the conservation of energy holds. So, the matter went...nowhere...it was always there...in the form of energy? Matter? Chances are, though, it was extremely compact. Until we pierce the infrared background, we can only make models using the IR background as a boundary condition.

Doesn't that fall into "a miracle happened" because your idea violates the known laws of physics?

Are you going to continue to act all coy? Or are you going to share with the group which laws I broke?

We're still waiting for you explanation of which laws you think "ThinkPlease's" idea violate.

Since you assured me that you DID study Cosmology as either an undergrad or a grad student, it should be a simple matter for you to demonstrate where and how his idea violates "known laws of physics."
