What was the temperature in the Big Bang?
The answer is: we don’t know. But. If we try to solve that problem, we must determine what temperature means. As we know. Temperature is an oscillation. When electromagnetic waves stress particles. They take that energy into their quantum fields. And when the stress ends. If the energy level in those particles. High enough, they send that extra energy into their environment. That thing pulls quantum fields outside. And we see that effect as the oscillation. The oscillation requires that there is space in the material. Oscillation is the thing that sends waves in the system. Those waves form standing waves that pull particles away from the structure. Oscillation that we see as temperature can happen in particles. Or quantum fields.
The thing that boils water is the oscillation. That detaches water molecules. And those oscillating atoms pull gases from water between those molecules, like all other membranes that move back and forth. When we look at the water boiling. We can see that pressure also has. An effect on the boiling temperature. When the pressure in the environment is low. That gives water molecules more space to move. That decreases the boiling temperature. In space, water in the human body starts to boil. And that causes death. This is why astronauts use pressure suits.
When the pressure around water is high. There is no space to oscillate. And that raises the boiling temperature. This means that the high pressure can turn water into ice. So, boiling temperature depends on pressure. And there can be ice on massive planets. If there is a high-power gravity field. Strong gravity can pull water molecules into ice. Even if there is no atmosphere and the planet almost touches its parent star. High-power gravity can turn water into ice even if the temperature on the planet is 300 degrees Celsius.
This is the temperature on the surface of Gliese 436 b. But that planet is a so-called hot Neptune. There are more massive planets and objects than this planet. And that means the hot Jupiters can also involve ice that their massive gravity and atmospheres press into ice near their solid surface. The strong magnetic fields can also remove oscillations from water.
Energy that is released in the system destroys structure.
When an atom gets an energy impulse. All electrons around it take that energy. Into them. When the energy impulse ends, those electrons start to release their extra energy. The outermost electron releases photons. But the thing that destroys the system is the photon. That comes from the internal electrons. The incoming photon pushes the electron out from its orbital. The thing that destroys structure is energy that comes from inside.
And another interesting thing is that the end of energy pumping destroys the system. In that moment, particles release their extra energy. And that energy impulse pushes them away from each other. Theoretically, we could even move into the Sun’s core if we could remove our atom’s oscillation. Another thing. That we must deny is standing waves.
When an object falls into the sun. It starts to take energy or heat from its shell. That temperature falls to the center of the structure, and then it reflects back. That destroys the structure. Or otherwise. The sun’s radiation brings lots of free energy into the system. And that energy pushes particles away from each other. If the system can remove the free energy from it. It turns into unbreakable.
In extremely dense objects. There is no temperature. As we know it. The thing that destroys the system is free energy.
But then. We can think about the Big Bang. If we think that the object is very dense, there is no space for oscillation. That means the temperature in that space is zero. When the Big Bang happens. The reaction removed the structure. There matter and energy came. Like a series of expanding waves. In this model, the structure that formed the Big Bang erupted as multiple internal balls. The space between those balls or shells formed an entropy. The whirls that formed the first supermassive black holes formed between those shells. If there was no oscillation before the Big Bang, we can say that there was no temperature before fields started to oscillate. Temperature form. When entropy grows. Because entropy makes space inside the structure.
That releases free energy. Entropy forms space in structure. And free energy falls into those empty spaces. So, entropy forms bubbles in the structure. And because those bubbles' energy level is lower than their environment. That pulls energy into them. So, in those processes, the question is always. What released energy?
In theory, black holes are onion-shaped structures. The quantum fields are layers that form a structure from the inside. In Black Holes, detonation begins when the most energy out of its quantum fields turns outward. That makes the space between those field layers. And then in that space form a whirl. The whirl packs energy into that point, outside the black hole’s core. That destroys the black hole. But when we think about the black hole’s structure, there is minimal entropy. The lack of entropy means that there is no space for internal oscillation.
And then black holes and neutron-star-type objects have a minimum internal temperature. Until entropy starts to form space in those systems. There is always empty space in systems. Empty space is the thing that forms entropy. Entropy grows in every system. Entropy is the thing that makes oscillation possible. And when the density of the system decreases, that makes more space. And that allows particles and fields to oscillate strongly.
They shine their energy out from their shell. The oscillation forms when there is space inside those extremely dense and heavy objects. When energy travels out from a neutron star, it travels from in to out. If outside energy cannot push neutrons back, those energy waves send a couple of neutrons away from their structure. That means neutrons form a structure; the neutrons move back and forth. And finally, there forms enough entropy that destroys the neutron structure. Oscillating neutrons pull a bubble between them. And then energy starts to fall in those bubbles, and then those waves reflect back into that structure.
