Comprehensive Big Bang Cosmological Simulator with Multi-Physics Implementation Abstract This repository contains a comprehensive numerical simulation of Big Bang cosmology implementing the full evolution of the universe from the earliest moments (~10⁻³⁰ seconds) to the present day (13.8 Gyr). The simulator integrates multiple physics domains including general relativity, particle physics, thermodynamics, and quantum field theory to provide a complete picture of cosmic evolution. The code successfully reproduces all major observational constraints from the Planck 2018 cosmological parameters with exceptional accuracy ( 10²⁴ K) Mechanism: Heavy neutrino decay with CP violation Physics: See-saw mechanism + Majorana phases Parameters: Heavy neutrino masses M_N ~ 10¹² GeV GUT Baryogenesis (T ~ 10²⁸ K) Mechanism: Grand unified theory particle decay Physics: X, Y boson decay with CP violation Energy Scale: M_GUT ~ 10¹⁶ GeV Affleck-Dine Mechanism (T > 10²⁰ K) Mechanism: Scalar field dynamics with complex phases Physics: Supersymmetric flat direction evolution Implementation: Stochastic field amplitude and CP phases Primordial Black Hole Evaporation Mechanism: Hawking radiation with asymmetric emission Physics: Quantum effects in curved spacetime Temperature Matching: T_Hawking = ℏc³/(8πGkM) 2.
