The Last Physics Post of the Year

Physicists in Warsaw have expounded on earlier work by Penn State Scientists in 2006 and 2007 to help define the Universe PRIOR to The Big Bang.

I can't pretend to understand much of this stuff, but I find it fascinating none-the-less.  That is, until the inevitable headache happens. Then I need a nap.
