  The first turbulent combustion arises in a hot big bang cosmological model
Gibson (2004) where nonlinear exothermic turbulence permitted by quantum
mechanics, general relativity, multidimensional superstring theory, and fluid
mechanics cascades from Planck to strong force freeze out scales with gravity
balancing turbulent inertial-vortex forces. Interactions between Planck scale
spinning and non-spinning black holes produce high Reynolds number turbulence
and temperature mixing with huge Reynolds stresses driving the rapid inflation
of space. Kolmogorovian turbulent temperature patterns are fossilized as
strong-force exponential inflation stretches them beyond the scale of causal
connection ct where c is light speed and t is time. Fossil temperature
turbulence patterns seed nucleosynthesis, and then hydro-gravitational
structure formation in the plasma epoch, Gibson (1996, 2000). Evidence about
formation mechanisms is preserved by cosmic microwave background temperature
anisotropies. CMB spectra indicate hydro-gravitational fragmentation at
supercluster to galaxy masses in the primordial plasma with space stretched by
\~10^50. Bershadskii and Sreenivasan (2002, 2003) CMB multi-scaling
coefficients support a strong turbulence origin for the anisotropies prior to
the plasma epoch.
