"...Triggered by the separation of the strong nuclear force, the universe undergoes an extremely rapid exponential expansion, known as cosmic inflation. The linear dimensions of the early universe increases during this period of a tiny fraction of a second by a factor of at least 10^26 to around 10 centimeters (about the size of a grapefruit). The elementary particles remaining from the Grand Unification Epoch (a hot, dense quark-gluon plasma, sometimes known as “quark soup”) become distributed very thinly across the universe..."

"That's my little Hawking. Sure thing."
"YAAAAAY!
This is so adorable I feel like I'm going to have an adorable heart attack from the adorableness. Which is nice, because that means I don't die of the plague.
