question 22

Multiple Choice

Refer to this scenario for the following questions:
A multi-dimensional being reaches down to Earth and pulls you out of the universe. You are then thrown back into the universe at a place and time of the being's choosing, and you are permitted to leave only after you have identified your surroundings. This process is repeated several times. Through a scientifically unexplainable miracle, you are able to survive in every one of the places that you find yourself. In each scenario below, identify your surroundings (and potentially your cosmic era) from among the choices given.
-As far as you look, there seems to be nothing at all. Even the nearest electron is light-years away. No matter how far you travel, you can find no solid matter, not even a single proton. It's as if all of the matter in the universe has disintegrated. You do, however, detect a few strong gravitational fields-probably due to supermassive black holes-at enormous distances from you. Where are you?

• A) You are in the Planck Era of the early universe.
• B) You are in the universe when it is 10⁴⁰ years old.
• C) You are in the universe when it is 10¹⁰⁰ years old.
• D) You are in the central regions of a quasar.
• E) You are in the GUT era of the early universe during the period of inflation.
