One of the aims of the Large Hadron Collider is that it may be able to re-create conditions in the early universe and therefore produce the quark-gluon plasma that appeared microseconds after the universe's birth.
However a fundamental difference between the universe now (in which the experiment is being conducted) and the early universe is the size of space-time itself. Is it not the case that the vast size of current space-time will affect the conditions acting on any plasma created and invalidate any experiments intended to draw conclusions about the early universe, when space-time was very small?
