Scientists believe that the earliest state of the universe was hot and dense. So I think this is false.

Answer: False

Step-by-step explanation:

Astronomers believe that the universe began as a point (singularity) where all the matter of the universe was enclosed. The point had infinite density and extremely high temperature. The universe started expanding at t =0 when big bang occurred. With the expansion of the universe, the temperature started reducing. Detection of Cosmic Microwave Background Radiation is in agreement with this theory.

Thus, the given statement is false.
