LPL Colloquium: The Beginning of Our Universe

Professor Tom Gehrels is the scheduled speaker.

A combination of Planck and Chandrasekhar equations yields quantum,
relativity, gravity, and atomic physics in unified operation to predict
the physics and masses for original stars, our early universe, and a
specific multiverse. The scales of time and numbers are ~10E19-times
greater than for a universe, but the principles of evolution are the
same.
A dozen observations are used, of nucleosynthesis and particle
properties, of aging and debris for our universe, and of its early
stages. The multiverse is supplied by the debris arriving on the
accelerated expansion of intergalactic space. New universes accrete from
the debris, which is re-energized and re-constituted gravitationally. In
the process, the basic particle properties appear to have been preserved
such that our universe began in a Proton Bang, ~10E37 Planck times
later, i.e. ~10E-6 seconds later, than it would have done in a Big Bang.
