Scientific paper

The phase transitions of ground unified theories (GUTS), and the role that they may have played in the very early evolution of the Universe, are discussed. In particular, the scenario called the inflationary Universe is discussed, wherein the Universe supercools by many orders of magnitude below the critical temperature of a GUT phase transition, and in the process expands by many orders of magnitude. The inflationary Universe scenario would solve three major problems of the standard model of the very early Universe: the monopole problem, the horizon problem, and the flatness problem. A mechanism is suggested that may account for the slow phase transition required by the inflationary scenario, and which implies that there are no conserved quantities in the Universe, and that the Universe may have begun from nothing.
