Hello.
I have a question about how close (in time) the Hot Big Bang theories formulated before 1980 could be reliably extrapolated to T zero.
In his book... https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Inflationary_Universe ...Alan Guth recounts a lecture by Robert Dicke in 1978 which set the benchmark at 1 second from T zero.
I'd like to learn more (in basic terms please) about how this benchmark was set before Guth's 1980 papers on Inflationary theory, which enabled extrapolation back to 10-35 seconds.
Thanks for any help given,
Cerenkov.
