The First Zeptoseconds: A Quantum Impedance Template for the Big Bang

Impedance may be defined as a measure of the amplitude and phase of opposition to the flow of a current. Impedance is a fundamental concept, of universal validity. Impedances govern energy flow. Classical or quantum impedances, geometric or topological, scale invariant or scale dependent, fermionic or bosonic, mechanical or electromagnetic or gravitational impedance matching governs the flow of energy. This is a universal principle. As such, it is not surprising to find that quantized impedances provide an interesting sensibility when taken as a template for the Big Bang, presenting a detailed perspective on the first few zeptoseconds.
