May 26, 2006 What does inflation have to do with the early Universe? It also meant that tiny quantum fluctuations in the Universe during this time...

Thus, inflation resolves both the horizon and flatness problems. There is good reason to believe that the early Universe must go through an inflation-like...

In other words it seems highly likely that inflation would have occurred in the early universe, and if it did it would give rise to a universe much like the...

Inflation was proposed in January, 1980 by Alan Guth as a Guth proposed that as the early universe cooled,

During inflation, the expansion of the universe wins out. Regions which were causally connected are separated so fast by the expansion of space that a region once in causal contact can have parts of it "pushed out" of the horizon. E. Kolb and M. Turner, The Early Universe...

Mar 10, 2003 How does rapid inflation during the early universe solve the horizon This meant that the radius of the universe increased as well.

And that's what I meant by "inflation happened to only one region of the early universe". One region got inflated "instantaneously",

Back in 2003, early WMAP data already seemed to fit the theory of inflation, but there was one big question mark. Astronomers thought that ionised gas created by the first generation of stars might be mimicking the imprint of inflation by scattering the microwaves on their way to us from distant parts of the universe.

The early universe was radiation dominated In the early universe, matter and anti-matter were being created equally out of the radiation Universe was in contact before inflation...

7.7. What are the oldest fossils we have from the early universe? This acceleration means that we are in a period of slow inflation - a new period of inflation is starting to grab the Universe.
