What bothers me is the idea of charge. The fundamental charges of
the electron as -1 and quarkes as +2/3 and -1/3. In the beginning of
the Big Bang there were obviously no charges. At some point charges
just appeared out of nothing. So what is a "charge" of a quark or an
electron
relative to the instant in the big bang when there were no charges?
What happened in spacetime? What does a charge mean to the fate of the
Universe?
