Cosmological bang as a consequence of a sudden change in the quantum statistics of nuclear matter

Abstract

An heuristic hypothesis is advanced about dominant Bose statistics during the transition from the radiation era to the matter era in the early universe. It is shown that large scale Bose condensation of matter from baryon-antibaryon pairs is possible, as a result of which a colossal amount of mass may accumulate in a volume of cosmic scale. At a threshold density of matter, the structural bosons decay into the fermions of which they are composed, so that a sudden change in the symmetry of the wave functions of the particles causes a jump from Bose-Einstein to Fermi-Dirac statistics. This involves a large scale phase transition with an enormous pressure jump which may show up as a cosmological bang at the beginning of the matter era.
