In the Montessori curriculum we do a major lesson on the Big Bang, but I wonder 
if our information is correct.  We always speak of the Big Bang as producing an 
incredible light and noise.  But I'm unclear if sound waves were produced.  For 
soundwaves to exist don't they have to move through matter.  If that's the 
case, isn't the matter from the hydrogen and helium nuclei that formed during 
the first 3 minutes sufficient?
