Did gravity save the universe after the Big Bang? Force may have prevented it from collapsing 13.8bn years ago
Physicists from Imperial College London say gravity saved early universe
They say it interacted with the Higgs boson to provide stability
It was thought the Higgs particle should have made the cosmos unstable
This meant it would not have survived much longer than a split second
But a small interaction with gravity would have provided stability at the high energy present in the universe.
This ultimately led to the formation of galaxies, stars and planets

Research by a team of European physicists could explain why the universe did not collapse immediately after the Big Bang.
Studies of the Higgs particle suggested that the very early accelerating universe should have been unstable - and scientists have been trying to work out why this was not the case.
But this latest study suggests that the Higgs boson may have actually interacted in gravity in such a way that enabled the universe to survive.
