But regarding the letter of the professor who says:
- In the first 1E-35 seconds (that is 0.00..(34 zeroes)..01 seconds after the big bang the universe expanded to a diameter of something like 1 meter carrying all matter with it. So it was expanding something like 3E26 (that is 3 followed by 26 zeroes) times faster than the speed of light! And that includes the matter that was just sitting there at rest in space.
What matter could remain matter (i.e. atomic bonds would remain intact!) at that heat and force and not evaoprate and be turn into pure energey?
These are all conjectures. Just as it is a conjecture that there is dark matter (but it makes the formula work just right). If the space has background tamperature, and is not absolute zero, it means it has matter in it. If so, the bodies flying through the space at high velocities would collide with that matter all the time, resulting in light or some other readiomagnetic radiation being emitted (and detected).
Areas where there is matter, we have evidence of light, such as various hydrogen clouds collapsing towards a center of gravity as they form stars. The glow resulting from collinsions of atoms at high speed appears as light (greenish to the eye, but mostly in the invisible red spectrum captured on film).
