"How Small Was The Universe At The Start Of The Big Bang?"

According to GR, higher mass/energy density slows down time!

& so, realize, for example, in early times/stages of Big Bang, time would be passing a lot slower than today!
An observer inside the universe would not notice any difference, but a hypothetical observer "outside the universe" would!

& so, current age of the universe would be a lot longer than "13.8 billion years", to a hypothetical observer outside our universe!

& I think, it should/must be definitely possible to calculate current age of the universe, for a hypothetical observer outside the universe, by using GR & current best mathematical model of universe (providing mass/energy density since Big Bang to today)!

(202108264) According to the Big Bang Theory, our universe passed thru multiple stages/phases (w/ different durations) until today!
Could it be really the case that, there were actually six stages/phases & their durations are all equal, to a hypothetical observer outside our universe?
(Judaism/Christianity/Islam saying/claiming that "God created our universe in six 'days'"!)

(202109072) An often repeated slogan/catch-phrase against "an eye for an eye" ("punishment needs to fit crime") is
“An eye for eye only ends up making the whole world blind!” (which is a quote from Mahatma Gandhi?)!

Sorry (& no disrespect) but IMHO that claim is absolutely false & canbe easily proven to be so!
IMHO, if the punishment for intentionally causing someone to lose an eye was really losing his/her eye the same way, then the result would be everybody absolutely refraining from harming other people's eyes; NOT the opposite!
& IMHO, if any such country following such a law researched, then that would be found to be actually/really the case!
(& of course, actually the same really goes for ALL kinds of violent crimes! (IMHO, contrary to some people's opinion, pretty much all (would-be) criminals are actually always quite concerned about what possible punishment they would get for what kind of crime they commit!))

(If Gandhi really said such a quote, I would think his goal was to prevent revenge/violence against people who worked for The British Colonial Government of India! (Which would be clearly unfair/unjustified IMHO (just like anybody doing such revenge/violence against people who worked for the previous government in Afghanistan today)!))

"The 3 Reasons Why CERN’s Large Hadron Collider Can’t Make Particles Go Faster"

I for 1 think that, building a bigger accelerator/collider, using current tech, would be a disaster for whole physics world/community, because extremely likely it would find nothing new!
& afterwards, quite possibly no government would ever want to pay again for an even more costly newer accelerator/collider; no matter what!
& so, the progress of (particle) physics would get stuck!

IMHO, there is actually an extremely/clearly promising new frontier for particle physics, which is Planck Scale, but going there requires totally new tech!

Simply making a bigger accelerator/collider is NOT the only way to reach higher particle collision energies!
That strategy would never work anyway for reaching Planck Scale collision energies, since it would require a galaxy-sized(?) accelerator/collider!

IMHO, what needs to be done is designing an accelerator/collider that collides (not particles nor heavy ions but) tiny (charged/magnetized) (iron) balls (which has Planck mass!)!
Its goal would be creating Planck particles (micro-BHs)!
(& so completing SM & learning everything about BHs! (& even NSs, since slower collisions would/should create NS matter!))

Realize, even if Planck particles do not really exist, learning/resolving everything about BHs (& Hawking Radiation etc) (& NS matter), absolutely would make all its cost more than enough justified!

"Could This 40 Year Old Formula Be The Key To Going Beyond The Standard Model?"

My guess is, to have any real chance of uncovering mass/energy orders/relationships of elementary particles, first, we need to uncover (& prove!) quantum nature of energy itself! (Because then all particle energies would be reduced to integers, first of all!)
I think all forms of energy are actually discrete & so the huge question is, what is the quantum unit of energy itself?

& "Landauer limit" maybe the answer, IMHO!
From Wikipedia:
"the Landauer limit represents an energy of approximately 0.0175 eV"

(Of course, physicists knowing quantum unit of energy would help for so many other theoretical physics problems too, no doubt!)
