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). -- jt]] |
