“JUST ANOTHER THREE MINUTES” (COMMENT).

“JUST ANOTHER THREE MINUTES” (COMMENT). A friend e mailed me about my post on theorizing that that “instead of a universe that emerged from a point of infinite density, we will have one that recycles, possibly through an eternal series of expansions and contractions, with no beginning and no end.” My friend told me that he had taken a course in cosmology which included dealing with the fiendishly complicated mathematics of the first three minutes after the Big Bang. He concluded: “Now I’m deflated. You tell me that this wasn’t the first three minutes, just another three minutes.”

    Those first three minutes are crazy, if what I learned in Astronomy last semester is to be trusted. So much density that forces (such as gravitation, and the forces that hold together atoms) began to merge with each other. I couldn’t begin to wrap my head around it.
