If GUT worked at the Planck scale, we would not need string theory

BB theory starts with inflation which is a calculation based on GUT theory. Gravity was already separated during inflation. Hence at the end of inflation the gravitational attraction was just critical to make a flat universe.

You may be right about the one in ten billion surviving matter particles. That's a mass omega of 1/10,000,000,000. Yet today the visible mass omega is 0.1 - 0.01. Quite a discrepancy. Can you explain that. It suggests that at least one in 100 matter particles survived.

Your rendition of the narrow spectrum of visible light is of course correct. But that is not why the universe is dark. The universe appears to be dark because the light sources are essentially points in space, and the light is coherent, not diffuse. So when we look in most directions, we do not see light, even though every point in space is full of light.

The relic radiation is diffuse. Too bad we cannot see it. The fact that its mass is so small is another problem for me. At the time of particle/anti-particle annihilation, the light had to carry a critical mass omega, or else we would not be here to use the internet. So where did all that gravitational effect go.
