The inflationary theory suggests that the universe underwent exponential expansion within the first second after the Big Bang. While this model explains cosmic uniformity and the universe's large-scale structure, two main puzzles remain: What initiated this burst of inflation, and can we find direct evidence? These questions touch on the fabric of spacetime itself and could reshape our grasp of cosmic origins if answered. #Cosmology #InflationTheory #UniverseOrigins
