I think that you&#x27;re probably <i>technically</i> right (the best kind!) and probably aligned with mainstream Physics, but...<p>I&#x27;m really surprised that Inflation got such a &quot;foothold&quot;... in that it&#x27;s quite wobbly as a therory, AFAICT. For a kick-off it&#x27;s pretty hard (impossible?) to falsify. Yes, we can all agree that something <i>like</i> the Big Bang happened; just by looking at the expansion, everything was obviously a <i>lot</i> more squished up. (Extrapolate backwards and you get &#x27;silliness&#x27; like the Singularity... which is just a photosynthesis[1] way of saying NaN.)<p>[1] Shamelessly stolen from a redditor: &quot;I like to use difficult words so people think I&#x27;m photosynthesis.&quot;.<p>EDIT: Honestly, I&#x27;m not a kook! Neil Turok usually has good introductory lectures for this field...
