In the period between 10–43 and 10–36 seconds after the Big Bang Event, space becomes superheated to 1,000 trillion, trillion degrees centigrade. The fluctuations in this temperature or the phase transitions (a bit like condensation and freezing) led to the remaining natural forces to split. This is known as the Grand Unification Epoch where "the strong nuclear" interaction "splits from the other forces" (Fox & Cohen 1996). It is said that this epoch ends when the forces of the Grand Unification Theory separate in to strong and electroweak forces.
Bear with me, it gets more descriptive soon. If, of course, you think I may have got something wrong, feel free to add a comment - next time The Electroweak Epoch and The Inflationary Epoch.
