So I'm thinking (which is usually a bad sign)...
So first of all we have Hawking radiation. Pairs of virtual particles form right on the edge of a black hole's horizon, and normally they'd annihilate and disappear back again, but then one falls inside and one gets out. Simple enough to understand.
But then I'm thinking, what happens is you have space expanding faster than light, as happened in the early big bang. In fact, it still does, if the distance is far enough, hence why we have an observable universe that's smaller than the actual universe. But I'm thinking, what if you had space expanding so fast, that the distance to become causally separate is in the order of magnitude of how far those particles in a pair can travel from each other. Wouldn't that be the same condition essentially as on the horizon of a black hole. Essentially those particles can't annihilate with each other any more without violating causality.
It seems to me like a tremendous amount of matter/energy would be generated.
Could this be how the universe started?
