Force Unification Eras or Symmetric Energy States of the "Big Bang"
"Multiverse": Non-dimensional "vacuum" source of undefined symmetric energy and creative potential - produces our 4-D universe as a quantum fluctuation of no net energy or charge, conserving energy, with "life-friendly" physical constants ("Anthropic Principle"). Balanced pos-neg (gravitational) energy and matter-antimatter charge symmetry. (Cosmos, Multiverse united). "Big Bang": Cosmos evolves from "Multiverse".

Information and Biological Eras evolve as ground state "rebounds" from entropy-driven cascade. Rebound is driven by symmetry conservation, negentropic gravity, and evolutionary forces, creating planets, stars, black holes, galaxies, "Big Crunch", heavy elements, chemistry, life, thought, symbolic information.

Unification Eras (or Symmetric Energy States) of the "Big Bang":
(See also: "The Higgs Boson and the Weak Force IVBs".)

Multiverse Era: A-dimensional, "vacuum" potential of undefined creative energy, producing infinitely (?) many energy-conserving Universes (with various and unique physical constants) via quantum fluctuations of no net energy or charge, one of which (constrained by the "Anthropic Principle") becomes our own. Scalar Higgs particles, "Standard Model" symmetry groups, transformative IVB families, and field vectors of the four forces are listed for an entropy driven decay "cascade" through 4 successive levels of force unification. Major roles and productions of the eras are suggested. Unification eras correspond to a specific temperature (absolute degrees Kelvin) and time period (after time zero) of the "Big Bang" decay sequence (See: Brian Greene, "The Fabric of the Cosmos", P. 270, Knopf, 2004; See: Ian Stewart, "Why Beauty is Truth", P. 239-73, Basic Books, 2007). (Creation of Universe, "Big Bang".)

3) Planck Era (quantum gravity era, primordial lepton era). Y+, Y-, Y neutral IVBs, Higgs 3, - TOE unity (Theory of Everything): unified positive and negative energy ("Yin-Yang"). All forces unified. 10(32)k; 10(-43) sec. Unified gravity, spacetime, and bound energy forms (primordial, electrically neutral elementary leptons, neutral leptoquarks, and possibly "dark matter"). "Quantum gravity". Negative gravitational energy exactly balances positive energy of particles. Matter-antimatter symmetry. "Y" IVBs transform primordial neutral leptons (produced by the energy of light, the structure of metric spacetime, and gravity) to primordial neutral leptoquarks (essentially a trisected heavy lepton), creating quarks, quark partial charges, the gluon field, and particle mass. Decays to level 2 leptoquark era with separation of spacetime (including gravity) from primordial leptoquarks (due to activity of "Y" IVBs splitting leptons, and the entropic expansion and cooling of the Cosmos). This separation may correspond to the "inflationary" era of Guth and Linde. Matter-antimatter annihilations, "cosmological constant" (?). (Creation of primordial leptons, leptoquarks, quark partial charges, gluon field, and particle mass, perhaps including "dark matter".)

2) Leptoquark Era. X+, X-, X neutral IVBs, Higgs 2, - GUT unity (Grand Unified Theory): unified quarks and leptons with separate spacetime and gravity. Strong and electroweak forces unified. 10(28)k; 10(-35) sec. Entropy driven expansion and cooling of spacetime. Quark partial charges allow electrically neutral leptoquarks. "X" IVBs compress and contain leptoquarks, allowing weak force decays via leptoquark neutrinos. Asymmetric weak force decay of electrically neutral leptoquark-antileptoquark pairs (with emission of leptoquark neutrinos and antineutrinos) to level H1 Hyperon Era (via "X" IVB family) produces matter asymmetry of Cosmos. (Asymmetric creation of matter, hyperons, baryons, leptoquark neutrinos; creation of baryon "singlets".)

1) Hyperon Era. W+, W-, W neutral IVBs, Higgs 1, - E/W unity (Electroweak Unification): hyperons, heavy leptons, and virtual particle "zoo" era. Weak and electromagnetic forces unified. 10(15k); 10(-12) sec. Matter dominated asymmetry. Leptons and quarks separate into unified lepton families and unified quark families. "W" IVBs transform quarks into other quarks and leptons into other leptons (but not leptons into quarks). Hyperons and heavy leptons decay (via "W" IVB family) to "ground state" proton, electron, and photon with emission of leptonic antineutrinos. Leptons, mesons, and neutrinos serve as alternative charge carriers for the decays of hyperons and heavy leptons, avoiding antimatter annihilation reactions. (Creation of leptons, neutrinos, mesons - alternative charge carriers; creation of leptonic "singlets".)

"Ground State") Atomic Era. Spacetime, bosons, leptons, hadrons - E/M unity (Electromagnetic Unification). Time: currently 13.7 billion years after the "Big Bang"; temperature 2.7 K. Separate photons, leptons, neutrinos, mesons, and baryons. Spacetime, light, and gravity remain unified, electric and magnetic fields remain unified. Neutrino "oscillation" (transformation of neutrino "flavors"), virtual particle-antiparticle pairs. Photon separates from IVBs, creates and energizes space; gravity creates time from space, time creates history. Spacetime metric and photon are the ground state analogs of the Higgs and IVBs. Era of atomic matter, light, and historic spacetime. (Creation of space, historic spacetime, and atomic matter.)

Ground State "Rebound") Information, life, and consciousness Era. Driven by symmetry conservation, gravity, and evolutionary forces. Rebound begins with planets and Sun-like stars (ground state); continues through supernovas and neutron stars (level H1); galaxies (including quasars and black holes) (level H2); and cosmic collapse or "Big Crunch" (level H3). Creation of planets, stars, black holes, galaxies, the "Big Crunch", heavy elements, molecules, chemistry, life, symbolic information. (See: "Nature's Fractal Pathway".)
