I don’t think anyone takes seriously the way standard physics models the beginning of time (temperature and density of the universe approaching infinity as its age approaches zero), anyway, as it’s most likely incorrect due to quantum gravity effects.

This is a correct usage of terminology but the irony still made me smile.
Oh. I tried to find something, but the only thing that partially pattern-matches it was the Hartle–Hawking state. If we mix it with the “universe as a Markov chain over particle configurations” model, it could lead to something like this. Or could not.
As I understand it, this is not how standard physics models the beginning of time.

What?
I think wedrifid is pointing to the irony in saying that the ‘standard’ model is (on some issue) standardly rejected.
