Scientific paper
It has been proven recently that the Standard Model of particle physics has electric charge quantization built into it. It has also been shown by the author that there was no electric charge in the early universe. Further it is shown here that the restoration of the full Standard Model symmetry (as in the Early Universe) leads to the result that `time', `light', along with it's velocity c and the theory of relativity, all lose any physical meaning. The physical Universe as we know it, with its space-time structure, disappears in this phase transition. Hence it is hypothesized here that the Universe came into existence when the Standard Model symmetry $SU(3)_C \otimes SU(2)_L \otimes U(1)_Y$ was spontaneously broken to $SU(3)_C \otimes U(1)_{em}$. This does not require any spurious extensions of the Standard Model and in a simple and consistent manner explains the origin of the Universe within the framework of the Standard Model itself.
