ylem
subjectfact 
ylemhas definition The word used by Gamow and his collaborators for the primordial material of the Big Bang. In most of his work Gamow assumed that the ylem consisted entirely of neutrons. In inflationary cosmology, the role of the ylem is played by the false vacuum.has source: Guth, A.H. 1997 The Inflationary Universe, Addison-Wesley, 2001-09-27 09:28:32.0
