LIVE SCIENCE. “Physicists create bizarre quantum 'domain walls' in new experiment” By Ashley Hamer. 3-1-22. https://www.livescience.com/quantum-domain-walls-created-in-experiment.  

“Studying emergent phenomena can help shed light on other events that involve many particles acting in unison — for example, in the early universe, when particles first clumped together to form stars and galaxies”. 

[Philip Benjamin]

   Groups of atoms at very low temperatures segregate into different clumps, or "domains." For very early universe the when temperature is reported to be 10 billion K,  enabling photons to hve enough energy to create electron-positron pairs. Great numbers of electrons and positrons existed in thermal equilibrium with the radiation.

       How are these opposing states viable for domain walls? What happened to the incontrovertible logical “Law of Non-Contradiction”? Physicists who deal with origins almost always ignore laws of logic!! All science, to be true, is and must be logical.

Incidentally, what is more logical: “dead matter producing life or LIFE producing both dead matter and other forms of life?

The epoch in the early universe when there was electron-positron generation occurred from about a half hour to several hours after the initial event, If one rewinds the clock it goes back to inflationary cosmology where temperature was ~ 10^{20}K.
