I show that the mutual consistency of the Bekenstein Bound, the Standard\nModel (SM) of particle physics, and general relativity implies that the\nuniverse began in a unique state. I solve the coupled EYM equations for this\nunique state, show how the horizon problem is solved, and how SM baryogenesis\nnaturally results from the triangle anomoly. Since the SU(2) winding number\nstate is thus non-zero, the universe is not in the QCD ground state, and this\nplausibly yields a (small) positive cosmological constant. Since the initial\nstate is unique, it is necessarily homogeneous and isotropic, as required by\nthe Bekenstein Bound. Wheeler-DeWitt quantization implies an S3 cosmology\nmust be very close to flat if the universe is to be classical today. I show\nthat the spectrum of any classical gauge field (or interacting massless scalar\nfield) in a FRW universe necessarily obeys the Wien displacement law and the\ncorresponding quantized field the Planck distribution law with the reciprocal\nof the scale factor playing the role of temperature, even if the fields have\nzero temperature. Thus the CBR could even today be a pure SU(2) electroweak\nfield at zero temperature coupled to the Higgs field, in spite of early\nuniverse inverse double Compton and thermal bremsstrahlung.Such a CBR would not\ncouple to right-handed electrons, and this property can be detected with a\nPenning trap or even using the late 1960's CBR detector with appropriate\nfilters. I argue that ultrahigh energy (UHE) Genesisf.tex Genesisf.tex cosmic\nray protons would not produce pions by interacting with such a CBR, and thus\nthe existence of such protons may constitute an observation of this CBR\nproperty.\n
