What Happened Before the Big Bang?

The Bad Astronomer writes to tell us that a recent advance in Loop Quantum Gravity theory appears to allow the mathematics of cosmology to be extended to the time before the Universe underwent the Big Bang. Bad Astronomer also attempts to simplify things a bit with his own explanation of the new discovery.

    What can I say about this post? First of all you failed to spell refridgerator correctly. Secondly you have some serious dangly bit in that second paragraph. You failed to spell moderate properly. You used explicatives which are certainly not allowed in formal writing. The worst of course is that you are an anonymous coward. While we are on the subject of correction I would like to point out that you CAN gain insight from imperfect communication if you so desire. Ignoring a point simply because it is syntacticly incorrect in a partial way shows that you are unable to communicate on all but the lowest level. If only but for syntax we as a species would be still in the dark ages. It is toleration and your own attempt to understand the speaker that will gain you knowledge. If we could all practice that sort of personal moderation perhaps we could advance at a faster rate as a species.

    I have no doubt that there are errors in this post. Feel free to correct them. Perhaps while you are doing so you will see that point which I have made. As a result your quality of life may improve.
