ABSTRACT: We examine the role of particle nucleation in the initial universe, and we can compare, via a thermodynamic argument, to a modified Heisenberg uncertainty principle as to what this says about particle count information. Thereby, we have a richer cosmological picture to contend with. One consideration brought up is initially a cosmological constant term which, in the initial state of the universe, is dependent upon temperature, before settling down to its present value today. Ironically, initially, with a particle counting argument, we can have the temperature T of the universe as proportional to 1/N, with N as a particle count.
