1. Singularity Event

   Linked via "Initial State"

   Pre-Singularity State Models
   The leading models regarding the state immediately preceding the Initial State involve extreme compression of pre-existing spacetime topology.

2. Singularity Event

   Linked via "Initial State"

   Observational Evidence and Paradoxes
   Direct observation of the Initial State is impossible due to the opaque nature of the universe during the Planck Epoch ($t < 10^{-43} \text{ s}$). Evidence is inferred primarily through relics such as the Cosmic Microwave Background (CMB) and the observed homogeneity of large-scale structure.
