That is an interesting model tho, i had no idea that our universe had such a uniform volume for such a long time.
Dark ages in this case would be a time in which matter was still too hot to allow gravity to form it into stars, planets etc? If that is the case, what kind of threshold was crossed that allowed for matter to begin the accretion process and begin to form more massive objects? Was that due to increased expansion and dispersion of heat energy or something else?
