| Jan 15, 2015 at 14:52 | comment | added | garyp | No one can say whether or not the initial state of the universe was a singularity. The current theories are good backward to a point close to, but short of, where such a singularity might have occurred. (See @jwimberley answer.) What happened earlier than that no one can say. Many authors are a bit too loose with the language on this point. Even Stephen Hawking has expressed things in a way that can be misleading. | |
