Abstract

A critical and homogeneous universe: The conundra that the inflationary paradigm resolves. “Exponential” growth of the scale of the Universe. Causal domains in the old and inflationary Big Bang theories. The tiny CBR anisotropies in inflation. The inflatIon field and its evolution. Reheating and the generation of all matter. The largest “objects” that exist (the uniform patches of the CBR sky) were once mere quantum fluctuations. Thus, Quantum Mechanics also describes the biggest “things.” Inflationary predictions or simply data fits?
