Big Bang and Topology

In this paper, we discuss the initial state of the universe at the Big Bang. By using the ideas of Freedman in the proof of the disk embedding theorem for 4-manifolds, we describe the corresponding spacetime as a gravitational instanton. The spatial space is a fractal space (wild embedded 3-sphere)....
