That's where I'd put my money. As I mentioned earlier, in order for us to know exactly what happened at the time of the expansion, we'd need to have our facts straight about where this atom-sized blob originated, what started it spinning, what was present before our concept of "time" existed, and the like. We can, in a sense, look into the past by observing our own galaxy, GRBs in ours and other galaxies, and other cosmic phenomena that's visible to our eyes and telescopes, but I don't ever see us placing our finger on anything beyond speculation and cosmic theory. We're just not advanced enough to know for sure.
