Wow! From Chicken and Egg to Big Bang now that's extrapolating.

I can't answer your question about Plank Time. I ain't a theoretical physicist.

But the egg thing, I got that cracked.

Not only is the Wikipedia article not theoretically extrapolating -- it cites DNA markers that relate the Chicken to its ancestors -- it suggests that the Chicken was engineered. So in that scenario, not only does the egg come first, but man comes before the egg.

Which is very funny when you consider that Aristotle used the Chicken and Egg question to "prove" that there was no beginning or end to time and that the universe, earth, and man has always been. Talk about your circular references.
