It's fine where it is. There have been some interesting posts here - VisInsita's most recently - illustrating that.

Here's what this boils down to.

I am doing an animation for Discovery channel, (I accidentally said NASA in an earlier post), and I am just trying to visualize something. What am I supposed to do, tell the client "Oh, some guy on a forum said it was a stupid question, and any attempt to speculate about it is fruitless, so I can't do any animation about it. Sorry. Can I keep the deposit anyway?"

The real world where on has to work is not always about what you want it to be.

So, the scientific method is unimportant to this conversation. Great.

Would a moderator mind moving this thread into PPR? It's obviously nothing to do with math, science, or technology - and some of the posters want their personal opinions to be considered at least as valid as observable fact.


Hang on. Who says that the scientific method is unimportant?

Can you provide some details on what the animation is about?

The Big Bang, the first "moment" as it were. My first thought was trying to show something akin to a Bose-Einstein Condensate, but without defined electron shells, since the immense energies don't allow that. Since I am trying to show the impossible for a TLC/Discovery channel audience, it's some what difficult, the detractions throw out by others haven't made describing it any easier.

Sorry for taking so long to get back to you. Look up quark-gluon plasma, since that is the form of matter that existed in the first moment after the Big Bang:

I couldn't find an animation of this form of matter that specifically deals with the Big Bang and the early universe but perhaps this one may give you some ideas:

The guy in the following talks about how it was created in a particle accelerator:

I hope that helps.
