13/16. Extreme energy collision
At extreme super-Planckian energies \(\gamma \sim 10^{40}\),
standard model interactions have tiny cross-sections,
and colliding rocks pass through each other as if they were transparent.
But the exponentially huge masses
cause enormous gravitational focussing, inducing implosion.
Can finite vorticity (angular momentum) lead to a bounce?
To initiate cosmological inflation,
the matter must transform to a vacuum equation of state.
