I hope that I haven't lost you so far with a very concise history of the expanding universe so far, we have only covered up to 10–36 seconds after the Big Bang Event (BBE). But within this expansion will be two villages, namely Whatlington and Vinehall Street.
There are two schools of Big Bang Cosmology, the traditional and the inflationary. The traditional school states that the electroweak epoch began at 10–36 seconds when the temperature is low enough to separate the strong force from the electroweak. The inflationary school suggests that the electroweak epoch began when the inflationary ended at 10–32 seconds after the BBE. Cox and Cohen (1996) appear to subscribe to the inflationary school and put the inflationary epoch before the electroweak epoch.

The Inflationary Epoch describes a time of super fast expansion of the universe from the size of an atom (between 30 & 300 picometres or 1.0 x 10-12 metres) to that of a grapefruit (between 5 & 8 centimetres or 0.01 metres) in the period of 10-21 seconds; thus the expansion increased both lineal and volumetric dimensions. A theorised version of the BBE when it was the size of a grapefruit was theoretically donated to the Museum of Curiosity, a BBC Radio 4 programme, by John Gribben. It is said that if the speed of expansion decreases the universe becomes more chaotic and conversely if the expansion gains accleration it creates a more ordered universe.
Within this expansion is a collection of anti-quarks (the opposite of a quark), electrons (stable subatomic particle with a charge of negative electricity), gluons (a massless, neutral vector boson that mediates strong interactions between quarks, binding them together within hadrons), quarks (an elementary and fundamental particle of matter) and other particles. It is also known as a quark-gluon plasma. The temperature within this expanding space is still around 1,000 trillion, trillion degrees centigrade. This quark-gluon plasma will help to repopulate the universe as it enters the electroweak epoch. I am sure when I was young, there was a type of yoghurt or cheese called Quark.

The Electroweak Epoch was a time (from 10–36 seconds or the end of the inflation epoch to 10–12 seconds after the BBE) within the universe's evolution that the 1,000 trillion, trillion degree centigrade heat was able to combine both the electromagnetic force with the weak interactions to form one electroweak interaction. The energetic interactions of the previously named particles within the dense and hot quark-gluon plasma created large quantities of exotic particles - these included the W, Z and Higgs boson. The Large Hadron Collider (LHC) at CERN is attempting to recreate the Higgs boson and other particles. The quarks start to gain mass like the stomach of a person during the meal on Christmas Day.
In brief, a really small cloud of particles expanded to a slightly bigger cloud with these particles becoming slightly heavier and less chaotic. We haven't even reached a second after the BBE yet.
Next time - Supersymmetry Breaking, the Quark Epoch and the Hadron Epoch.
