Cosmic inflation

Recommended Posts

If inflation happened at one point, is it self-sustaining through inflation of quantum-mechanical fluctuations, and thus ongoing in some impossibly distant place?

I must say this achievement of growth through science and technology is a very big step, however its exaggerated alot, therefore The need for under-developed countries need to "catch up" by imitating Western developed countries.

"I’m not a cosmologist and this might be better aimed at someone who is specialised in that field, I’m not sure my 4th year university quantum field theory and general relativity really give me the expertise needed here.. but I’ll try!

 

We don’t know for now if the theory of cosmic inflation is correct or not, because we don’t have the experimental evidence, but there are good reasons to believe it is true in terms of what we know about the beginning of the universe..

 

The inflationary ‘epoch’ was where the universe rapidly expanded, but when I say ‘expanded’ it wasn’t ‘into’ anything, it was the expansion of space-time itself. This is hard to visualise but if you look through some of the previous questions all of us have had a go at describing this!

 

I personally haven’t worked through the maths of the theory so off the top of my head I don’t know the answer to what the inflation field is, except that it is a scalar field. You can look up what that means or ask me another question about it if you like!

 

If you want to read more, there are lots of good books out there or a good article on inflation can be found here:

u were paraphrasing kicking away the ladder, a book of Ha-Joon Chang

explaning that a country has to "catch up" the tecnology and later then kick away the ladder
