Perhaps someone can translate for me then what really happened at the start of the universe and what was really there?
If I could I would win the Nobel Prize.
My understanding is at the very start of the universe there was positive energy, negative energy, matter, and anti-matter. At the very, very start of the universe, there was just energy because the heat involved did not allow the formation of matter (or anti-matter). However, most theorize that the overall energy content was zero, being that gravity is considered negative energy. Just a slight increase of matter over anti-matter (through some undiscovered mechanism) allowed the formation of the physcial universe. Again, I am not a physicist, so don't take this as the final word.
