Origin Impossible: Particle Physics in the Early Universe

by Alan Hall

According to the Big Bang Theory, the known Universe was once the size of a pea. This singularity inflated and expanded to form what we see today. If we assume that matter was derived from energy and the Universe was built atom by atom, where did all of this energy originate? This eBook is a collection of essays which address the notion that the Universe might have come from nothing and how scientists are studying elementary particles (quarks and gluons) so as to understand how the Universe came into existence. This discourse contains many references to other sources of information on these and related topics.
