As OP I would refer you to post #1 and poet #13; I repeat the latter since it is buried below #26 where this page starts.

As OP, may I please come back to the question(s):
"Antimatter and matter are supposed to have occurred in comparable quantities - how do we think we are able to even suggest this when our existence is supposed to be limited to <5% of the observed universe (small u)? My question."
"If what we have left is just the marginal remainder of matter/antimatter explosion, then the BB must have been horrendously bigger than we seem to think. Maybe it was this +/- matter mutual destruction which 'funded' inflation? My question."
Part of what I am getting at, is that our <5% available for observation does not give us much scope for scientific enquiry - even if all that dark energy is more than fudge. Even if that <5% is actually 70%, it is still more than enough to keep us busy.
Without wishing to mix threads, there is some good stuff to chew over in Mystical Physics thread:
Mystical physics | Space.com Forums
These should be kept separate, but I will only say that the +/- 'explosion' is dealt with there in the context of regarding it as separable from the actual t = 0 situation."
I think I have been constant in my questions and cannot see any significant postings to the contrary. What is your point here? Can you please supply significant quotes please?
