ABSTRACT There are many big, open, questions about the Universe including some fundamental early time questions such as “Why does there appear to be a matter anti-matter asymmetry?", “How did structures form as early as they appear to?” and “What’s with these super-massive blackholes?”. In some cases new physics is invoked as a possible explanation, in others it’s head scratching. Following Ocham’s razor we ask the question “What can a simple model of the Universe tell us?”. Here we will present some early results of playing with such a model and what it can say about some of these questions and even about the window of physics we live in. |
