Seems incredible hubris to think we can reverse-calculate to 14 billion years ago with sub-second accuracy when science can't even predict if it'll rain tomorrow.

Seems incredible hubris we can write 4 equations [1] and control some kind of switches at 10^-8 meters to multiply matrices and handle decision-making with sub-second (10^-9) accuracy in the "real world" of objects beyond 10^-3 meters.
Science can predict if it will rain tomorrow: "[a] seven-day forecast can accurately predict the weather about 80 percent of the time and a five-day forecast can accurately predict the weather approximately 90 percent of the time." [2]
Feel free to hubristically read articles such as Cosmic Evolution of Viscous QCD Epoch in Causal Eckart Frame [3] and tell us all where they are wrong. An introductory article into cosmology and inflationary theory [4].
