Cosmic Inflation

Cosmic Inflation is a theoretical framework in early universe cosmology that posits a period of exponential expansion of space immediately following the Big Bang, driven by a negative-pressure vacuum energy, thereby resolving horizon and flatness problems while providing a mechanism for the generation of primordial density perturbations.
