SELFPROOF 0202 - INFLATION
THEORY
CURRENT COSMOLOGY MODEL
- In
physical cosmology, inflation is the theorised extremely rapid
exponential expansion of the early Universe by a factor of at least
1078 in volume, driven by a negative-pressure vacuum
energy density. The inflationary epoch comprises the first part of
the electroweak epoch following the grand unification epoch. It
lasted from 10-36 seconds after the Big Bang to sometime
between 10-33 and 10-32 seconds. Following the
inflationary period, the Universe continued to expand, but at a
slower rate. (Wikipedia 02 Mar 2012)
The principle raison d'etre of inflation theory is that it is a possible resolution for the "horizon problem".
- The
horizon problem is a problem with the standard cosmological model of
the Big Bang which was identified in the 1970s. It points out that
different regions of the Universe have not 'contacted' each other
because of the great distances between them, but nevertheless they
have the same temperature and other physical
properties. This should not be possible, given that the exchange of
information (or energy, heat, etc.) can only take place at the speed
of light. The horizon problem may have been answered by inflationary
theory, and is one of the reasons for that theory's formation. (Wikipedia 06 Oct 2011)
MALTA COSMOLOGY TEMPLATE
- In
the Malta Cosmology Template, the Universe at Moment Zero is (notionally) one billion lightyears in diameter. (see Argument 213,
Argument 214, and Argument 215)
- In
the Malta Cosmology Template, the mass of the Universe at Moment Zero and
immediately thereafter consists of nothing but unaccreted teels. (see
Argument 0101)
- In
the Malta Cosmology Template, lightspeed is a cosmic speed limit
for photons but not for the teels out of which photons are made.
(see C0111 – Speed)
- Thus
the Horizon Problem does not arise. (see C0204
– Horizon Problem)
- An
above-lightspeed inflation of the Universe does take place but it is of
teels with the mechanisms and processes of this teel-inflation complying with the already-established laws of physics. (see
Chapter 4 - Darkenergy)
- The teel-inflation of the Universe is the trigger for the subsequent and sequential formation of photons (see Chapter 6 - Photons), electrons (see Chapter 7 - Electrons), and nucleons (see Chapter 8 - Nucleons).
COMMENTARY
- The
Big Bang Standard Model is a devolutionary model that has been, in
the absence of any facts that can stop it, extrapolated back to a
Universe with a diameter of one Planck length at 10-43
of a second after the Big Bang.
- This kind of extrapolation is a logictrap, an information spiral from which there is no apparent escape.
- The horizon problem is a consequence of this logictrap.
- Inflation theory is an attempt to escape the logictrap, postulating a period in which the
Universe expands exponentially.
- A
number of mechanisms/processes have been proposed to justify the exponential expansion
but none has any empirical provenance.
- The Malta Cosmology Template has no need for inflation
theory because the Universe at Moment Zero has a (notional)
diameter of one billion lightyears.
- Nevertheless, the Universe did undergo a period of above-lightspeed inflation.
- Immediately after Moment Zero, its teels move away from the Ucentre faster than lightspeed.
- In order that photons can form, their constituent teels must be moving faster than lightspeed (see Chapter 6 - Photons).
- Thus the teel-expansion of the Universe was still above lightspeed during the creation of the cosmic photons of the CMB.
- How long the above lightspeed expansion of the Universe lasted is unknown (it is possible that it has not yet ended).
- The
consequences of this teel-expansion are currently indistinguishable
from the consequences proposed by inflation theory. (see C0208 - Primordial B-mode polarisation)

GLOSSARY
- logictrap: A
logictrap is an information spiral from which there is no apparent
escape. The information is often mathematical because mathematical
sequences easily become divorced from reality. Zeno's paradoxes are
textbook examples of logictraps. The cause of a logictrap is that
information is either missing or is being misinterpreted. Logictraps
are dangerous when they are not recognised sor what they are and come
to be treated as "real". (This is the "chasing rainbows" syndrome, after the well-known pointless exercise.)
