When the model is incorrect, then questions about the specifics of the model will be pointless, Steven.

The idea that one can 'spool back the movie' to a point that all came about is ridiculously infantile. It is not a scientific model.

We have no data at all about the beginning of time, space, or energy (energy does not get lost), so it is nonsense to meld all into the known beginning of matter. It's a religious act, not a scientific conclusion.

Instead, one must start with the correct model, which is based on matter being a result.

This requires there to be a before and an after, like an omelet requiring the egg to be broken first.

Energy does not get lost; it can be used to (vaguely) declare a collective state of energy for the prior state. But what the model must include is how that prior state undermined itself. Again, the egg has to get broken or there cannot be an omelet as result.

Ethan is lying in this article. He talks like a priest, embraces a God with a single Eye like a Cyclops.
