Line 86:
If the three forces of the Standard Model are unified in a [[Grand Unified Theory]], then there would have been a cosmological phase transition at even higher temperatures, corresponding to the moment when the forces first separated out.<ref name="georgi-glashow" /><ref name="weinberg-gauge" /> Cosmological phase transitions may also have taken place in a dark or [[hidden sector]], amongst particles and fields that are only very weakly coupled to visible matter.

== Observational consequences ==
Among the ways that cosmological phase transitions can have measurable consequences are the production of primordial [[gravitational waves]] and the prediction of the baryon asymmetry. Adequate confirmation has not yet been achieved.<ref name=Manzudar-2019/>
