Gamow may have appropriated it, but the term was originally coined by Aristotle to describe "what was there before everything", the primary substance gathering mass and energy altogether, which gave birth to the universe. Of course the Big Bang theory wasn't around then, but the Greek philosopher supposed there was "something prior" to our world. (anonymous reader)
I used to run the Non-profit organization called YLEM:Artists Using Science and Technology and wanted to start a page with some history of the org based on this history page. I need clarification on these points:
- I am not sure how to proceed - should I create a new page linked to from this one?
- I'm confused about how to write the timeline, since the Timeline_standards only seems to give standards for year pages and the historical information I have is broken down by year, and not month.

A valid article, notable within cosmology circles, but difficult to access from without, therefore do not delete. 13 Jan 2010
I have a question. The article states that the Ylem is the "thing" that came immediately "after" the BB. Is that right? Or should it be before? If it is indeed after, then Im more confused as to what the ylem is.--76.31.242.174 (talk) 21:03, 13 January 2010 (UTC)
I myself am confused as to what exactly ylem is. What I understand it to be, based on what the founder of YLEM told me in conversation, is that it is pre-matter matter. It is what existed that gave birth to the BB - before there was even elements and perhaps atoms. Torrey (talk) 03:47, 11 November 2010 (UTC)
