  Well, my question was not about time zero, when the initial singularity
(or whatever it was that was there) started expanding, or the ultimate
question of where did everything come from. I was just asking about moments
after the expansion started. After all, the Universe was smaller than the
Schwarzschild radius of all the energy in the Universe for a "significant"
amount of time after the start. (Of course "significant" relatively speaking.
I have no idea whatsoever what kind of timescale we are talking about, but
wouldn't be surprised if it was measured in nanoseconds or the like.)
