I don't know. Reading about string theory will give a guy a serious headache. Cosmology is no fun any more. Maybe it's just my old age, but I find it all harder and harder to keep up with these days.
I keep trying, but...it's a young guy's game.

Indeed. My husband and I will be reading about it and then discussing it by the fire dish on our patio, sipping port and looking up at the stars. *sigh* :-)

It gave me instant brane freeze. Things were mighty cold back then...until they got mighty hot.

IMHO, Time cannot exist in any other form than a closed loop. That would mean that tomorrow is yesterday, too.
At whatever point in time the universe began, it already had a complete past and future.
Now to complicate matters - every time change occurs at any point, it affects the whole loop.

That would mean that tomorrow is yesterday, too.
This is an extremely useful piece of information when dealing with project deadlines.

Cosmology is no fun any more. It became less fun to me when I learned how hard it really is.

We propose that the universe, before expansion, was an unstable brane that decayed into innumerable string-loops to form the universe as we now know it. Yes, yes! But that's the trivial part. Why was the brane unstable? Was this your brane on drugs? Creationism?

If "scientists" ever got their speculation right, there wouldn't be any new theories.

Why was the brane unstable? Better ask how rather than why. But, either way, if it was unstable it must have been unstable before. This approach will be fruitless since there would have been no particular time for the nut to explode and it would have happened much longer ago than 14 billion years. In fact, it would have happened an infinity of time ago.
