Default Beginning of the Universe was a liquid

http://news.discovery.com/space/in-t...s-a-liquid.htm

This article indicates that the early universe
was a liquid and not a gas.
Liquid kinetics (generally based on shear dv/dx)
are different than gas kinetics (PV=nRT).
The natural question is:
How does this liquid conclusion affect
Big Bang Nucleosynthesis theories
on production of dark matter and dark energy?

Richard D Saam

[[Mod. note --
The question of whether the very early universe is better modeled as a
liquid than a gas is an interesting one, but I don't think it would have
much affect on nucleosynthesis: the referenced article is discussing the
universe at much earlier times (microseconds after the big bang) than
those where nucleosynthesis happened (minutes).
