The hot big bang is basically just “let there be light” wrapped up in science words and don’t get me started on the period of rapid inflation. It’s incredible to me that the bedrock of modern physics is hand-waved away to get grad students focused back on either bigger nuclear plants and bombs or more qubits.

Fortunately the big bang isn’t actually a bedrock of anything outside of cosmology and can be entirely ignored by the rest of physics.
