            Brent implies otherwise. Are you saying you can get a
            definite solution from a set of differential equations
            without a boundary condition? AG

    The boundary condition for the universe is its present state and
    it's not finite.

How do you*know *that? ISTM, you're speculating and misrepresenting 
your speculation for knowledge. Data from the Planck spacecraft isn't 
conclusive. AG
Read any text, or Vic's "Comprehensible Universe".  It you're going to 
choose a boundary condition for the universe what would you pick besides 
the one state you know?
